Juventus could propose a straight swap deal with Arsenal for €50 million midfielder, as they could send Arthur Melo the other way.
According to Tutto Juve, Juventus ponder p[roposing a swap deal involving Thomas Partey and Arthur Melo.
The Bianconeri are interested in the €50 million midfielder from the Gunners, while they see no future for the Liverpool flop at their club.
The Thomas Partey situation remains unsolved, with multiple reports suggesting he could quit Arsenal in the summer.

The report insists on Juventus’ interest in Partey but also suggests the club are willing to pay Arsenal’s demand of €20 million.
Instead, they ponder over proposing a straight swap deal involving Arthur Melo.
Although the report suggests Arthur has a better value than Partey, the reality is that the Ghanaian is miles ahead of the Brazilian on the pitch.
Arthur also has interest from some English clubs, but not from Arsenal.
Juventus are banking on the Gunners to reignite their past interest in the Brazilian midfielder, which may not become a possibility.
They have more firm targets like Romeo Lavia if Partey leaves and will not want to reignite their interest in the Liverpool flop.
Hence, a swap deal may not work out for Juventus, who may have to pay a sizeable fee to lure Partey.
