BARCELONA, (Reuters) – Juventus are set to sign Brazil international Arthur Melo from Barcelona after the midfielder agreed a five-year contract with the Italian champions and passed a medical, according to Spanish media reports yesterday.

The move is part of a twin negotiation between the clubs which involves Bosnia midfielder Miralem Pjanic moving to Barca, said reports in sports dailies Mundo Deportivo and Marca.

Mundo Deportivo said Juve will pay Barca 70 million euros ($78.55 million) for Arthur, 23, and will receive 60 million for 30-year-old Pjanic.

Arthur was photographed arriving in Turin for his medical yesterday, with Barca saying he had the club’s permission to miss training.

Barca and Juve did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
