Arthur Targets Juventus Return Under Spalletti After Grêmio Rebound

The Brazilian points to revived Grêmio form to argue he suits the organizing‑midfielder role Luciano Spalletti favors.

Overview

  • On loan at Grêmio, Arthur says he will return to Turin at season’s end and hopes to earn a chance under Spalletti.
  • His 2026 output includes 11 appearances, a goal and a 95% pass completion rate, helping Grêmio win the Rio Grande do Sul state title.
  • He sustained a minor muscular injury in the state final against Internacional, described as his only recent setback.
  • Arthur argues he can thrive in Spalletti’s possession model, name‑checking Pizarro and Lobotka as precedents for the role.
