Juve said it is paying Barca up to 82 million euros ($92 million) for Brazilian 23-year-old Arthur, while Pjanic moves in the opposite direction for 60 million euros, plus five million euros in bonuses.

“FC Barcelona and Juventus FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of player Arthur Melo. The Italian club will pay 72 million euros, plus 10 million euros in variables,” read a Barcelona statement, which followed Juve’s announcement.
