Arthur found Barça last Tuesday in the Champions League. The Brazilian midfielder was titular for Juventus’ 3-0 victory over his former club, which he left last summer in a trade with Miralem Pjanic.
“Barcelona gave me a lot”
In an interview with Marca, Arthur returned to this tumultuous departure. “There was more noise than I would have liked, he explains. Once I knew I was going to leave, I wanted to do it right. Barcelona gave me a lot. This is the club that opened the doors to Europe for me, a dream that I had since I was a child. A club with a great history, especially with Brazilian footballers. “
“I’m not surprised he wants to leave”
A summer that could also have seen the departure of Lionel Messi, who asked to leave Barça. A financial operation ultimately too complicated for rivals Barcelona.
The Brazilian is perplexed by the management of Messi by the Catalan leaders: “With what Leo was for Barcelona, their greatest idol, arrived at a young age, with his career, his course … I am not surprised whether he wants to leave, but I’m surprised at the disrespect they had for Leo. Now whether or not he wants to leave is his choice. ”
