Valencia has given up on their pursuit of Arthur Melo as they struggle to find an agreement with Juventus.
The midfielder has been one of the worst buys Juve has made recently, and they are determined to offload him now.
However, his bad two-year spell with them so far has made only a few clubs show an interest in him.
One of his main suitors is Valencia, and the Spanish club has been in talks with Juve.
However, they are limited in the percentage of salary they can pay from his lucrative deal.
Juve wants them to offer to pay around 50% of it, but it is too heavy for their budget.
A report on Calciomercato claims they have stopped talking with Juve over a possible loan move because of his high wages.
Juve FC Says
Arthur is a major liability that we need to shift at the moment, and the midfielder is also desperate to leave the club.
However, because top clubs are not coming to sign him, we might have to be prepared to pay a huge proportion of his wages before he can leave us.
It is much better to get a club that can pay at least 25% of his wages than keeping him in Turin when we will not use him.
If Arthur wants to play regularly, and unless he wants to spend the next year in the stands, and train with the reserves, he has to reduce his wages drastically.
what a sad incident 🙁
“It is much better to get a club that can pay at least 25% of his wages than keeping him in Turin when we will not use him.”
Disagree. All negotiations should be to our advantage whenever possible and if not, they should at least be fair.
We’re not in the business of making charitable donations.
If nothing else, Arthur will provide a reasonable backup option in emergency situations.
I don’t understand why they payed all these assholes so lucretively. They totally self destructed after Marotta left and Paratici took over. Ronaldo, Rabiot, Arthur, Ramsey, all the changes in coaches, etc. You name the stupid move and/or contract and they made it and gave it. Sad, Agnelli and Nedved ruined what they built because they got too greedy and bored with winning. That’s what happens when you cross Mr. Marotta. Now Inter is reaping the rewards of his talent as an football executive.
