Juventus are reportedly still keen to tempt Barcelona midfielder Arthur into a switch to Camp Nou.
At a time when the Catalan giants are looking to offload players in order to boost their efforts in the transfer market, Arthur has allegedly informed club officials that he has no intention of leaving the La Liga leaders.
Despite Barcelona being eager to sign Miralem Pjanic from Juventus, it has been suggested that Arthur's stance will scupper any deal involving the Bosnia-Herzegovina international.
However, The Independent claims that Juventus have not given up hope of enticing the Brazilian into a move to Turin during the next window.
Given the differences in age and potential resale value, the Serie A leaders will push to bring in the 23-year-old, who is now only regarded as a squad player at Barca.
Past reports have indicated that Pjanic is only prepared to consider a move to the Spanish outfit.
