Barcelona have all but confirmed the signing of Gremio midfielder Arthur.

Blaugrana have agreed a purchase option for the 21-year-old midfield talent, giving the Catalan side access to the player’s federative rights during July 2018.

If Ernesto Valverde’s men exercise that option, the fee involved for the Brazilian star is set at an initial €30m, with €9m more in add-ons.
