According to Arthur Melo’s agent, Federico Pastorello, the midfielder does not have a future at Juventus and will be seeking a new club when he returns from his loan spell at Liverpool this summer.
During his time at Liverpool, Arthur struggled with injuries and failed to start a single game for the club. Liverpool had hoped to utilise him as cover for their midfield injuries, but his own injury issues persisted.
Prior to his loan move, Arthur was already out of favour at Juventus and in need of regular playing time. Unfortunately, his time at Liverpool was marred by injury, with him picking up an injury early on and subsequently not featuring again.
As long as Max Allegri remains the manager of Juventus, it appears that Arthur is deemed surplus to requirements at the club. His agent will now be tasked with finding a new home for the Brazilian midfielder.
Federico Pastorello tells Calciomercato:
“Go back to Juve. We will have to find another solution. Allegri’s plans don’t fit. He found little space this year also due to a bad injury”
Juve FC Says
Arthur was one of the world’s best midfielders at Barcelona and it is a surprise that he is struggling with fitness problems now.
Hopefully, he would soon get back to form and start enjoying his football again.
“Arthur was one of the world’s best midfielders at Barcelona” – well I would not go that far. He was behind De Jong, Vidal, Sergi Roberto, Rakitic and Busquets in the pecking order. Lack of opportunities was a key role in him being sold together with the fact that both Juve and Barcelona used the swap as instruments for manipulating their accounts with the inflated value of Arthur and Pjanic.
He was an exciting signing though and he was the man Sarri had requested for his midfield. The idiots then sacks Sarri after he brings in the scudetto and Arthur is misused by both Pirlo and Allegri. But he has serious fitness issues though and thats the main problem with this guy.
