In the last days are sounding with strength the rumours about the hypothetical traspaso of Arthur Melo, a decision that would have advantages and inconvenient

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona wants to carry out in summer important operations in summer to reinforce the staff​ and knows that the exchanges of footballers with other teams go to be an important letter in this appearance. Arthur Melo is one of the players that has sounded with fierza during the last week, especially by the interest of clubs like the Juventus, the Tottenham or the Inter. To continuation, the pros and the contras to sell to the Brazilian.

Advantages

It is a very valued player in the market. The FC Barcelona wants to do with the services of important players like Lautaro Martínez (Inter of Milan), Tanguy Ndombélé (Tottenham Hotspur), Rodrigo Bentancur or Matthijs of Ligt (Juventus), and Arthur could be key to convince to these big teams to open to negotiate with the Barcelona by them.

Irregular inside and out of the field. During his two first seasons in the FC Barcelona, Arthur has not had a regularity that have allowed him consolidate like an important piece in the team. Some muscular injuries have done that it lose several parties, and besides has had altibajos in his performance. Neither they finish to like some things of him out of the field.

Possible incompatibility with Frenkie of Jong. The profile of game of Arthur is treaded to the of the Dutch, since both are mediocentros of position, specialists in doing circulate the balloon from backwards. When they have coincided on the field, has thrown in fault that any of them was more vertical and incisive of three chambers of field to forward. Both can learn to do it in the long run, but is not his nature and, when both have coincided, has evidenciado some monotony in the room of machines.

Problems

It would be difficult to sell to a footballer with the 'DNA Barça' incorporated. "Arthur has a big individual technician, of 'DNA Barça'. In spite of not to have formed in the Masia, is a player that has it everything to be very important", said recently Robert Fernández, previous Barcelona technical secretary and valedor of his signing. And the true is that, seeing him play, has some shots of legends like Xavi or Iniesta, although logically still is missing him a world to approach to his level.

With 23 years, still has progression by in front. Artthur Has a lot of quality in his boots but, besides, has years to follow progressing and adapting his game to the of the FC Barcelona. If the Brazilian abandons his irregularity, can convert during a lot of years in a key player in the centre of the field, something that the club would lose if it decides to sell him.

Motivated to follow dressing of Barcelona. The will of Arthur is to remain in the FC Barcelona and turn into an important player. The Brazilian is learning Catalan to remain in the Camp Nou during long and has reiterated his wish of not changing of airs. If this motivation translates in performance, the Barça will see him grow much more.
