“Yes, we had information that Inter, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are interested in the player and sent representatives to view our games,” Gremio Vice-President Odorico Roman told FCInterNews.it.
“There is a €50m release clause, but if a club really wanted to sign him, they’d have to send us a proposal. We would evaluate and decide whether to accept or not.
“Our intention is to keep Arthur with us for a little while longer. We think he can remain for another one or two seasons and give a big contribution to our cause.
“He is an athlete with immense quality. I’d say it’s rare to find midfielders of Arthur’s level in the world right now.”
The Gremio chief also confirmed the club owns 70 per cent of the player’s rights, dividing the rest with his family, and he does not possess an EU passport.
