Arthur Melo in talk with Barcelona to terminate his contract immediately

Arthur Melo wants to end his time with Barcelona immediately, after Refusing to return to the club to undergo the COVID 19 test ahead of Napoli game.

Marca says the midfielder has informed Barcelona that he has no intention to play for the club again.

Following his transfer to Juventus, Quique Setien stopped relying on the Brazilian midfielder in the last stretch of the LaLiga Santander season, and Arthur is unhappy with the treatment.

Arthur has not appeared after the Barcelona squad were given the week off by his coach following the end of the LaLiga Santander campaign, despite being summoned to take a COVID-19 test.

The rest of the Blaugrana players returned and passed their coronavirus tests on Monday.

Arthur has also requested that Barcelona terminate what is left of his contract - until the end of the Champions League - and is currently in talks to do so.
