As per Fabrizio Romano,<\/a>\u00a0the future of Arthur Melo at Juventus<\/a>\u00a0depends on whether the Italian club can find a suitable replacement this month. The Brazilian midfielder, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal<\/a>, has only made 13 appearances this season. At 25, too, he will be keen to get his career back on track – something perhaps only a move away can do.<\/p>\n

As for incoming replacements, Juventus are among the clubs appreciating soon to be out of contract Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria. According to Romano,<\/a> however, talks are yet to take place for the Swiss international.<\/p>\n

Arthur Needs Move<\/h3>\n

As each week goes by at Juventus, Arthur\u2019s previously promised potential decreases more and more. The former Barcelona<\/a> man was touted to go straight to the very top. A few years down the line, however, and the midfielder has struggled to live up to the aforementioned hype. The main aim now will be to get a move away from the Italian giants and onto bigger and better things.<\/p>\n

The project taking place at Arsenal will be of interest to several players in the next few months, and is undoubtedly something Arthur could consider.<\/p>\n

Zakaria Saga Goes on<\/h3>\n

Denis Zakaria is having to be more patient than most in the transfer window. It is clear that his future – at least after this summer – does not lie with Gladbach. And, usually in this instance, clubs opt for profit over the sale of a player for free. The problem that Gladbach have, though, is that they are yet to receive an offer for Zakaria.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of interest in the midfielder, but right now, it\u2019s just that. Of course, the world of football changes everyday, but, for now, Zakaria remains a Gladbach midfielder.<\/p>\n
