Arsenal's loan deal from Juve at Artur is close to completion, but the players are unable to play in the North London derby.
Multiple media reports have reported that Arsenal are close to completing artur's loan deal, but he was unable to play against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.
Charles Watts reported that Arsenal hope today's negotiations with Juve will help finalize a loan deal, and the players are also pushing for the deal to close.
Artur sees the Premier League as the best place to go and hopes to complete the transfer as soon as possible, but he and Arsenal are still waiting for Juve's approval.
The Evening Standard said Arsenal were willing to take on Artur's entire salary, with direct loans being the most likely option.
Romano reiterated the news, saying the mandatory buyout clause was not included in the current negotiations. But Juve are reluctant to release people until they find a replacement.
The Daily Telegraph said Artur was expected to join the team soon, but could not catch up with the North London derby.
Players need to register on Friday to play on the weekend, and it's too late.
Brazilian media described different versions, with The Globe Sports saying Arsenal had selective buyout clauses in the contract.
So far, they're the only media to suggest that this isn't just direct loan.
Arsenal still have a chance to close the trade before the second leg of the League Cup semi-final next Thursday, which will improve the team's chances of reaching the final. At the moment, the waiting game continues.
