Gremio`s vice president, Odorico Roman, has shed light on the club`s position on the possible transfer of midfielder Arthur to Barcelona. 21-year-old talent attracted the interest of the Catalans with his strong appearances during the season, but his contract includes a 50m-euro redemption clause, and Copa Libertadores`s winner does not intend to give up on that. `We have recently renewed Arthur`s contract for another three years, if Barcelona offers 25-30 million, there will be no transfer. ` The redemption clause in the contract is 50 million and we will not agree with a lower bid`Roman was categorical.
He added that the press has learned about the interest in Arthur and other Europeans - Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid. A few weeks ago, when he realized Barca`s attempts to attract the youngster, Gremio reacted very harshly and even accused the Catalans of unregulated contacts with their footballer. The player himself admitted he met with representatives of Barcelona, but he did not sign anything.
In Brazil, however, Gremio will release Arthur for 30 million. According to GloboEsporte, the club analyzed by today soccer games of Porto Alegre owns only 60% of the midfielder`s rights. The offensive midfielder received a great deal of recognition as one of the three nominees for the best South American footballer for 2017. He will challenge his teammate Luan and Peruvian Jose Paolo Guerrero from Flamengo.
