Torpedos heading Barcelona's way in the Arthur operation
Manchester United and Monaco also want to sign the Brazilian talent
Barcelona will have to suffer to sign Arthur. At the last minute two other sides have come in for the Gremio midfielder. Sources close to Barcelona say Monaco want him and presented an offer of 22m euros to Gremio. They say they will pay him more than Barcelona would and give him a guaranteed first team place.
Manchester United are also interested, with Jose Mourinho wanting the player. They also say they will offer more money than Barcelona. However at Barca they are convinced they will land the star and will only need to make some slight economic adjustments to get him in.
