Juventus has reached a verbal agreement with Brazilian club Grêmio for the loan of midfielder Arthur Melo during the current summer transfer window, with official contracts expected to be signed in the coming hours.

Thus, the Brazilian player is preparing to return to the club where he grew up, after being sidelined from Juventus's technical plans for some time. This move is part of the team's restructuring for the new season, especially after the recent departure of Douglas Luiz.

Arthur spent last season on loan at Spanish club Girona, where he played 15 matches, before Juventus decided to send him on loan again to the Brazilian league.

It is expected that the deal will be finalized and officially announced tomorrow, Friday, according to a report from Italian sports network Sky Sports.
