Barcelona midfielder Arthur has reportedly rejected a €5m (£4.5m)-a-year contract offer from Juventus.

The 23-year-old's future has been the
subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with Juve allegedly determined to bring him to Turin ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

According to Marca, the Old Lady agreed a deal with Barca and put a €5m (£4.5m)-a-year offer on the table for the midfielder, but Arthur signalled that he was not interested in a move.

The Brazil international joined the Spanish champions from Gremio in the summer of 2018 and has made 70 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring four times and providing six assists.
