Juventus have reached an agreement with Barcelona for midfielder Arthur, according to a report.
The Italian giants are said to have targeted Arthur as the ideal player to build their team around following an underwhelming campaign under Maurizio Sarri.
Sky Sports News claims that the Brazil international will join Juve in the summer transfer window after the clubs shook hands on a £72.5m deal.
The report indicates that Barca are reluctantly offloading the 23-year-old as they are in desperate need of money in wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Arthur is expected to be paid around £4.5m a year at the Allianz Stadium, where he will become the club's fourth all-time most expensive signing behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain and Matthijs de Ligt.
