Brazilian midfielder Arthur will arrive in Barcelona ahead of the new season after his transfer to the Camp Nou from Gremio was brought forward.
The 21-year-old was set to become a Barca player in January as part of a deal worth up to €39million, and Gremio president Romildo Bolzan Jr had insisted the promising talent would not be leaving Brazil before then.
At a news conference, Gremio’s executive director Andre Zanotta confirmed the transfer was complete apart from “small details”, an agreement to bring the move forward having been reached.
“Gremio and Barcelona are closing the sale of Arthur, missing small details that will be ready tomorrow,” Zanotta said on Friday.
“Arthur will travel to Barcelona this weekend.
“He’s here to say goodbye to Gremio.”
