Juventus may have loaned Arthur Melo back to Gremio for the season, but the Brazilian midfielder hasn't taken his eyes off the Old Lady's campaign. Still under contract in Turin, Arthur is keeping a close watch on his parent club's progress from South America—and he's not shy about sharing his predictions.

Come summer, Arthur's future will be a hot topic. A return to the Allianz Stadium seems likely, especially since Gremio might struggle to match Juventus' asking price for a permanent transfer. With only one year left on his deal, the midfielder is an affordable option for interested clubs, and Juventus are eager to move him on permanently as part of their squad reshuffle.

Despite the uncertainty, Arthur remains emotionally invested. He's even hoping for another shot under Luciano Spalletti, who has revitalized the team in recent months. But Juventus are leaning toward a clean break, balancing their sporting goals with financial realities.

When asked about Juventus' Serie A prospects, Arthur offered a candid take: "It's complicated because they're five points behind Napoli, but Juventus have the team to compete until the end. Under Spalletti, the team has improved a lot in recent months and is currently enjoying a good run. They have games ahead where they're favourites, and they'll certainly give everything to finish second, but it's difficult because it's not just up to them."

His comments strike a note of cautious optimism. Juventus have indeed found their stride under Spalletti, but closing the gap on Napoli will require both consistency from their own squad and slip-ups from the league leaders. For now, Arthur's prediction of a second-place finish feels like a realistic target—one that will test the team's mettle in the season's final stretch.
