The 24-year-old completed a move to Allianz stadium for a €72 million (£66m/$81m) deal in June, which saw Miralem Pjanic move the opposite direction.
“Saying goodbye is always difficult, even more so [because I am] leaving behind a place that has become my home,” Arthur said in a video posted on Twitter.
“An incredible city, that will remain forever in my heart. Where everyone received me as another Catalan, showed me a new culture, helped me to grow as a player and, especially, as a person.
“I am leaving a group of brilliant players. I'm very lucky to have played alongside them and, most of all, I am grateful for their support as good people with huge hearts.
“The crowd won me over from the first day, made me proud to play for them and to wear one of the greatest shirts in the world.
“They showed me care and respect that I will never forget.
“Today is the day to say goodbye, but I am taking everything with me in my heart forever.”
