It came as no surprise to anyone, but Arthur Melo has confirmed he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
Liverpool lost the race for Aurélien Chuameny to Real Madrid last summer, but first decided to wait a year to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund and took Arthur on a season-long loan from Juventus. The call turned out to be a mistake from Liverpool’s point of view, not only because Arthur developed a hamstring problem that required surgery and put him out of action for five months, but also because they decided not to pursue Bellingham at all. in the end.
Be that as it may, Arthur will return to Juventus at the end of the season, where he still has two years left on his contract. Stay there or not, he hopes to play at least one more time for Liverpool to the end, playing just 13 minutes in a 4-1 defeat at Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League campaign.
“Next season I see it well,” said the Brazilian midfielder. Goal.com.
“It will be decisive in my career and I am doing very well. I’m looking forward to showing this new version of Arthur. I hope I will have the opportunity to say goodbye in Liverpool by playing something, to say goodbye to my teammates, the technical committee and the fans who have been very kind to me.”
