Arthur Melo for Liverpool
Before the summer transfer window closes this year, Liverpool officially announces the loan signing of Juventus star player Arthur Melo. According to the provision between Juventus and Liverpool, the loan agreement is effective until June 2023, and neither party has submitted a purchasing option.
In the 2020–21 season, Juventus and Barcelona exchanged the Brazilian Arthur Melo for the Croatian Pjanic. Arthur went to Juventus, and Pjanic went to Barcelona. The news that he is heading to Liverpool delights the supporters because he was a player who showed his proficiency in the holding midfield position.
Arthur Melo was a bright young prodigy who started his career in his boyhood club Gremio. He played there for three seasons and in 2018 he moved to Spain and joined Barcelona for an initial fee of €31 million. The fans soon named him ‘Next Xavi’. He was a great ball player and his passing range was truly amazing.
Arthur Melo made his senior international debut in 2018. He went on to be part of the Brazil squad that went on to win the 2019 Copa America championship. He is capable of playing as a deep-lying playmaker, central midfielder, box-to-box midfielder, and also as holding midfielder.
Liverpool’s performance in 2022-23 season so far
Liverpool’s team under the coach Jurgen Klopp had been having a shaky start to this season’s EPL campaign. In the 5 matches completed they had taken only 8 points out of the possible 15. They have been finding it difficult to get to the beast mode that they had in the previous seasons. Their midfield has not been at its best this season.
After top midfielders Henderson, Thiago, and Naby Keita sustained injuries, Liverpool was vulnerable. They have had trouble replacing them and were speculated to sign a number of top midfielders during the summer transfer window. From this window, they have now added three midfielders: Fabio Carvalho, Calvin Ramsay, and Arthur Melo. Fans are eager to see how these signings will affect the game.
