According to reports PSG is willing to swap out of favor striker Mauro Icardi for Arthur, a deal that would certainly interest Juventus. Sevilla has already inquired about the midfielder but that would be a loan as Arthur has a contract with Juventus until 2025.
“We are thinking about [Arthur’s] options, also thinking about the World Cup,” Arthur’s agent, Federico Pastorello, told Tuttosport. Lazio, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich are also rumored to be interested in Arthur who needs playing time in the lead up to the World Cup.
