This season has been a success story for him, opening up the possibility for Fiorentina to make the deal permanent. However, there’s a catch — his salary. It’s on the higher side, posing a not-so-small hurdle for Fiorentina, which casts a shadow of doubt over keeping Arthur in Florence for the long term.

Arthur, on his part, seems to be in no hurry to pin down his future. He’s leaving his options open, embracing the uncertainty. Yet, whispers from Calciomercato hint at Arthur’s keen eye on the managerial merry-go-round back at Juventus. It appears he’s gauging the landscape, waiting to see who will take charge before making any decisive moves.

It’s a chess game, and Arthur knows it. Outlasting Allegri at Juventus could open new doors for him, offering another shot to prove his worth. This calculated patience, this waiting game, showcases not just a player in limbo but a man playing his cards close, aware that the next move could redefine his career.
