According to Marca, Newcastle have expressed interest in Juventus midfielder Arthur, but Roma, Napoli, and Everton are also keen on the Brazilian international.

Juventus is prepared to entertain offers for Arthur, despite a successful loan stint at Fiorentina under Thiago Motta during the 2023-24 season.

Marca reports that Arthur’s impressive performances at Fiorentina have attracted attention from several Premier League and Serie A clubs.

Newcastle and Everton are reportedly monitoring the former Barcelona midfielder closely. The Magpies have reportedly made inquiries about the 27-year-old, who is one of Juventus’ highest earners with an annual salary of €9 million including bonuses.

Roma, managed by Daniele De Rossi, and Napoli, led by Antonio Conte, are also interested in Arthur. However, according to Marca, the midfielder’s preference is a move to the Premier League.

Despite interest, Juventus has not yet received any formal offers for the ex-Barcelona star, who still has two years remaining on his contract at the Allianz Stadium.
