Barcelona seems to have taken a liking for Brazilian players recently, as they’ve followed up the signing of Philippe Coutinho and Paulinho last season with the arrival of Malcom and Arthur Melo this summer.
Barcelona announced in March that they reached an agreement with Gremio for the transfer of Arthur for €31 million plus €9 million in added variables. In July, he was officially announced as a Barcelona player.
The diminutive Brazilian is renowned for his passing ability, and there will be immense pressure on his shoulders to replace the outgoing Andres Iniesta.
Arthur impressed in preseason, and earned a starting spot for the 2018 Spanish Super Cup against Sevilla which his side eventually won 2-1.
Given the long season Barcelona have in front of them, we will have plenty of opportunities to witness the 22 year old Brazilian in action.
