Wednesday's edition of Diario Sport appears with a telling headline 'Double swap'.
The Catalan sports daily claim that Barcelona and Juventus are working on two swap deals which includes both Miralem Pjanic and Mattia de Sciglio.
The full-back is expected to be exchanged for Jean-Clair Todibo while the Bosnian would be traded for a fellow midfielder, either Arturo Vidal or Ivan Rakitic.
Thankfully, Arthur's name is no longer mentioned in Sport's fresh story. Apparently, the Brazilian has persuaded the Catalans that he should stay. Previously, it's been widely reported that Arthur is going to be swapped for Pjanic.
As for De Sciglio, he has been reportedly offered to Barcelona as part of the Pjanic deal. The 27-year-old right-back is no longer wanted by the Bianconeri. He has only made 12 appearances this term.
Mundo Deportivo have earlier suggested De Sciglio could be exchanged for Nelson Semedo as both players are capable of playing on the right flank. The Italian is priced at just €9.5m by Transfermarkt.
The rumours on the swap deals involving Juventus' and Barca's players have intensified lately. Apparently, the sides fear they would be lacking funds for normal transfers.
