Pjanic and Arthur to undergo medicals as Barcelona & Juventus close on midfielder swap

Miralem Pjanic and Arthur will both undergo medicals on Sunday as Juventus and Barcelona prepare to complete the deals that will see the midfielders switch clubs.

Goal can reveal that, while Brazil international Arthur completes the formality with Juventus, arriving in Turin late on Saturday, Pjanic will on the same day carry out his examinations at Barca.

The agreement between the clubs is not a straight swap, with Arthur moving to Serie A in a €70 million (£63m/$79m) deal and Pjanic going the other way for a fee of €60m (£55m/$67m) - netting the Catalans a total profit of €10m (£9m/$11m) on the ex-Gremio man.
