Juventus signing Arthur posts Barcelona farewell | OneFootball

Arthur Melo has posted a farewell to Barcelona as he moves to Juventus.

The midfielder is joining Juve in part-exchange for Miralem Pjanic.

"Saying goodbye is always hard but harder still when you leave behind a place that is my home, an incredible city that will always be in my heart, where everyone welcomed me like another Catalan," said the Brazilian.

"They showed me a new culture and helped me grow as a player and above all, as a person. I say goodbye to an impressive group of players and feel very fortunate to have played by their side, but above all grateful for their support as friends, people with big hearts."

"And fans who won me over from the first day and fill me with pride to be a Cule and defend one of the most important badges in football, and they have shown me love and respect that I will never forget.

"Today I have to say goodbye but I'll take everything I've lived here forever in my heart. Thanks for everything, Barcelona!"
