UEFA Champions League
Arthur Melo could take a significant turn in his career and return to Brazilian football. The Juventus midfielder is willing to sign with Santos on loan, but his decision would be conditioned upon Neymar's return to the club where he was born, something that seems more than likely.
According to Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between Santos and Juventus are in an advanced stage, with a purchase option included in the loan. However, the former Barcelona and Liverpool player looks favorably upon his move to the Brazilian team as long as Neymar does the same and returns to play for Peixe.
Arthur needs to play and Santos is a very good option
Arthur, who has not been able to establish himself in the elite of European football due to physical problems and lack of continuity, seeks to regain his best form in a familiar environment. Santos, on the other hand, dreams of repatriating their top star, and if this materializes, Arthur's arrival would be a luxury reinforcement for the team.

The agreement for the former Liverpool midfielder would also include a buy option clause.

Neymar's return to Santos remains a complicated wish to fulfill, but Arthur's interest in joining the project demonstrates the club's ambition. It remains to be seen if the pieces will move and if both players end up sharing the dressing room in Brazil.
