The 2019-20 season is not yet close to ending, but two European giants are already planning ahead for the next campaign with a top swap deal.
The transfer window after the coronavirus pandemic will force teams to enter into swap deals to boost their squads to protect their finances, and according to Cadena Ser, Juventus and Barcelona will be the first to trade two of their most talented midfielders.
The Spanish radio station has stated that the bianconeri and Los Blaugranas have reached an agreement to swap Arthur Melo and Miralem Pjanic. According to the report, the deal will be sealed once both players have reached a deal regarding their wages.
Arthur's inner circle told Cadena Ser's reporters that the Brazilian midfielder will get a huge salary increase when he joins the bianconeri, while Pjanic's wages have already been agreed with the Blaugrana hierarchy.
Arthur Melo was meant to replace Andrés Iniesta when he left the club, but he failed to impress at Camp Nou during his first two seasons there. Now, he seems ready to seek pastures new, and Miralem Pjanic will try to succeed where his Brazilian colleague failed.
