The Blaugrana are close to agreeing a deal with Copa Libertadores champions Grêmio for 21-year-old midfielder Arthur, who has impressed scouts from a whole host of top European clubs in the last few months. Neymar understands a deal is nearing completion and that only minor details are missing before it can become official.
Neymar knows the youngster very well, and sent him a congratulatory message on his Libertadores triumph last week. He believes Arthur will be a good signing for Ernesto Valverde’s team, as he has all the attributes to be a fantastic player for the Brazil national side too.
