The transfer of Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo to Liverpool on a season-long loan has been finalized.
Liverpool paid a loan fee of £3.9m to secure the services of the 26-year-old midfielder, with an option to purchase the player for £32million at the end of the loan period.
‘We had extensive discussions, and our ideas and visions aligned, so I am confident it was the right decision,’ said the Brazilian.
‘I am extremely pleased and highly motivated to continue pursuing my dreams on the field and giving my all in a Liverpool shirt.’
Arthur Melo is Liverpool’s fourth summer signing, following the acquisitions of Darwin Nunez, Fábio Carvalho, and Calvin Ramsay earlier in the transfer window.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was eager to bolster the midfield following injuries to Jordan Henderson, Thiago, and Naby Keita.
Having previously played for Barcelona, Arthur Melo joined Juventus in 2020 for £70million, as part of a deal that involved Miralem Pjanic moving in the opposite direction for £60million.
