The 23-year-old midfielder becomes a teammate of Matthijs de Ligt at Juventus, which pays him at least 72 million euros.
Melo played 72 matches for Barcelona in the past two years, which took him over from Grêmio for 31 million euros. The Brazilian has been in the interest of Juventus for some time. He initially did not feel like leaving Barcelona, where he is one of Frenkie de Jong’s competitors for a starting place.
The transfer fee of 72 million can still increase by 10 million euros, reports Barcelona. The champion of Spain has been hit hard by the corona crisis. All footballers of the first team have lost no less than 70 percent of their salary in recent months.
