La Liga
Girona is still evaluating the possibility of keeping Arthur Melo on a permanent basis once his loan ends in June. The Brazilian midfielder, who arrived on the last day of the winter transfer window from Juventus, has started to accumulate minutes in Míchel's plans, and his performance is convincing both the coaching staff and the sports management.
As reported by Estadio Deportivo, Girona's sporting director, Quique Cárcel, along with Míchel, chose Arthur to strengthen the midfield, although the deal could only be finalized in the final moments of the market due to his high salary and Juventus' demands. To facilitate his arrival, the player accepted a pay cut, allowing the Catalan club to take on approximately 50% of his wages.
He is gaining weight in Girona's midfield
Since his debut, Arthur has been gaining prominence, playing minutes against Getafe, Real Madrid, and Celta. His influence on the game has been evident, providing greater control and fluency to the team's possession. His progression has led Girona to seriously consider the option of signing him permanently.
However, the operation will not be straightforward. Juventus still has a valid contract with the midfielder until 2027, and his salary remains a hurdle. Although the Italian club and the player do not seem keen on extending their relationship, any definitive agreement will depend on negotiations between the parties.
