Corinthians is considering signing Arthur only if he rescinds his contract with Juventus, becomes a free agent, and accepts a salary reduction compared to initial approaches. ESPN reported that Arthur wants approximately R$ 100 million for a two and a half year contract until December 2028. The report specifies that this amount would be composed of a monthly salary between R$ 2 million and R$ 2.5 million, with the remaining R$ 27 million to R$ 42 million as signing bonuses distributed over the contract's duration. Arthur is currently prioritizing staying in Europe but is open to a return to Brazilian football if the financial terms are favorable.

Marcelo Paz, in an interview with TV Bandeirantes, stated that Arthur is one of a few possibilities for reinforcement during the next transfer window. Paz also said that negotiations are contingent on Corinthians resolving two transfer bans and settling payments with the squad. He mentioned that he asked Arthur to wait until these matters are resolved before an agreement is pursued. According to Paz, Fernando Diniz likes Arthur and believes the player would bring value to the team. It is reported that Arthur holds professional admiration for Corinthians. While Corinthians initially found Arthur's salary demands to be high, the club believes the good relationship between coach Fernando Diniz and Arthur could contribute to the player lowering his demands, making a move possible. Arthur's contract with Juventus is valid until mid-2027.

Arthur, who was on loan at Grêmio, would like to move permanently from Italy to Brazil. According to ESPN, the player wants approximately R$ 100 million for a two-and-a-half-year contract that runs until December 2028. This package would consist of a monthly salary between R$ 2 and 2.5 million, with the remaining R$ 27 to 42 million paid as signing bonuses over the contract period. Juventus is open to a contract termination, contingent on Arthur's next career move.

Corinthians may resume talks if the midfielder agrees to reduce his salary demands. Arthur has a contract with Juventus until mid-2027.
