Arthur is an exciting prospect

The Brazilian midfielder had joined Germio in the year 2010 from the lower-league side, Goias Esporte Clube. Later, he got lucky enough to make his first-team debut at the age of 18, under former Brazil manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari in 2015.

Even in the past, the star kid got called-up by the Brazilian side but he didn’t get to play. Also, Arthur didn’t get picked in the squad for the FIFA World Cup 2018.

Barcelona’s much-awaited star player has finally joined them. Meanwhile, the fans are hopeful to see him doing wonders here with Messi and the rest of the teammates.

The midfielder had also helped Gremio win Brazil’s equivalent of the FA Cup, the Copa do Brasil, in 2016 and South America’s Champions League – the Copa Libertadores – in 2017.

Also, he got crowned for his country at U17 and U20 stages. The Brazilian also has become the Blaugrana’s first signing of the summer.
