Fluminense has made an initial inquiry for Arthur Melo, a 29-year-old Brazilian midfielder owned by Juventus whose loan at Gremio concludes at the end of June. The inquiry was preliminary, and negotiations are not currently in progress. Two other Brazilian clubs have also made contact regarding the player's situation. Arthur's contract with Juventus expires in June of the following year, which makes a permanent sale the priority for the Italian club and complicates a new loan. When contacted by the press, Fluminense denied having been in touch with the player's representatives.
The midfielder has 22 caps and one goal for Brazil. This season, he has made 10 appearances in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and 8 appearances in the Campeonato Gaúcho, scoring one goal. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €4.00m. Recent reports from May 2026 suggest Juventus has set an exit price of approximately €6 million, while in January 2026, the club reportedly valued a permanent transfer to Grêmio at €10 million.
