Barcelona taking legal action against Arthur

Barcelona are opening a disciplinary investigation into the behaviour of Arthur Melo.

Marca says he is leaving for Brazil and refusing to play in the Champions League, leading the club to take legal action against the 23-year-old.

Barcelona are not willing to give in to the Brazilian’s request to terminate his contract one month before his move to Juventus.

On Monday, Arthur didn’t show up for his coronavirus test and, on Tuesday, he didn’t turn up for training.

The player feels that he has been mistreated by Barcelona after having previously stated on several occasions that he didn’t want to leave the club, only to be forced into a move to Juventus.

The club sees this as an act of rebellion and indiscipline on the midfielder’s part, and have filed a case against the Brazilian.
