Arsenal are pushing for Artur's loan deal and are still awaiting a response from Juventus, who is looking for a replacement for him.
As many media reports have reported, Romano reiterated that Juve will only loan Artur to Arsenal after finding a replacement for Artur, and the signing is still in stone.
Di Marzio reported that Juve was chasing Zakaria and made contact with Borussia Moncheng.
They are also preparing to bring back Niccolò Rovira, who have gone on loan to Genoa, and have already made official contact with the Italian club.
Reports from France were different, with Ignazio Genuardi saying Juve was considering Guimarães of Lyon as a replacement for Artur.
However, Lyon did not want Guimarães to leave the team in the winter window.
Ryan Gravenberg of Ajax is also a target for Juve, but he is more likely to leave the team in the summer window.
In this case, we have to hope that the Italian media know more than the French media, and Juve can make progress on Zakaria or Rovira faster.
It looks like Artur will be difficult to play against Liverpool on Thursday and if he can't join before this weekend's game against Burnley, Arsenal will be close to welcoming Thomas back and the end of Xhaka's suspension.
That's not to say Arsenal shouldn't have made the signing. In the current epidemic situation, coupled with the efficiency of Xhaka's card, they do need to bring in another midfielder.
Somewhat frustratingly, Juve have shown no signs of approving the deal.
