Arthur is experiencing a new beginning at Santos. The midfielder, born in 1996, officially parted ways with Juventus this summer, terminating his contract early to return to his home country and don the club's jersey. In an interview with Tuttomercatoweb, Arthur stated: "I'm very happy at Santos. There's a great team here, and the atmosphere within the squad is excellent."

During the interview, the player who previously played for Barcelona and Fiorentina also spoke about Neymar's crucial role in his transfer: "He was the first one to contact me, asking if I wanted to come to Santos. After that, I spoke with the president and the sporting director. We've known Neymar for many years; he's a personal friend of mine."

Finally, Arthur also commented on the newly signed Coutinho, a player who also had experience at Inter Milan: "He's a very good friend of mine. Everyone was surprised because he hadn't played for a long time, but his performance in training has been astonishing. His ability is outstanding. In my opinion, he's ready to play.
