Quique Setién sparked controversy at FC Barcelona after concluding that the azulgrana club failed in the signing of the Brazilian Arthur Melo. For the Cantabrian coach, the South American midfielder, who sounds like Juventus’ next signing, did not meet the expectations placed on him.
As expected, Setién’s statements soon saw a response from the player’s mother, Lucia, who on social networks criticized the words of the Barça team strategist.
“My God, now you start to put defects on the player,” wrote the mother of Arthur Melo on Twitter, as stated in the Spanish program ‘El Chiringuito’.
“He is not the first or the last player to sign with great hopes and expectations and in the end they do not bear fruit for whatever reason. I don’t know if it will happen with Arthur or not, but it happens to many teams and many players. We will never know if the operation is well done or not ”, he commented Setien at a press conference.
Arthur to Juventus?
Regarding his possible departure at the end of the season, Setién was clear and said that, despite the rumors, the club has not informed him about it.
What Setién did confirm is that, in the event that Arthur decides to leave BarcelonaYou will talk to him to make him aware that he should isolate himself and concentrate, because he has “important things to say”.
“I still count on him. In principle he will do the training and he will travel with possibilities of playing tomorrow. You have to try that all this noise does not affect you and in the event that you have to play, try to give the best of yourself ”, added Setién.
