The deal will see Juventus pay Barcelona up to 82 million euros for Arthur, while Pjanic moves in the opposite direction for a 60 million euro fee.
Pjanic was part of the Juventus team that recently beat Lecce 4-0 to extend their lead at the top of the Serie A table to seven points.
Arthur insisted that even though the transfer to big clubs seems "flattering and a positive sign", he wishes to stay at Barcelona for years.
The Brazil International star has reportedly sustained an injury on the groin that is likely to prevent him from participating in any match for the next two weeks.
Arthur is sure to miss out on the chance to be up against Real Madrid but some reports are suggesting that reason for this is him being infected with a sexually transmitted disease.
Neymar became the most expensive footballer in history when he joined Paris Saint-Germain for 222 million euros in August 2017.
Real Madrid are also said to be interested in the Brazilian.
