Rumors have been swirling around Arthur Melo lately suggesting that Liverpool’s new signing could be sent back to Juventus in January, cutting his loan short.
That suggestion, previously touted by TuttoMercatoWeb, has been dismissed by trusted reporter Guillem Balague, who notes on Twitter that the Reds ‘have no intention’ of doing as much and that the coaching staff is happy with their ‘understanding of the system and its quality’. .
He decided to ignore the days off to continue working because he knows he still has to catch up with the demands. She’s working on an individualized fitness plan to catch up because he didn’t have a regular preseason. Pretty standard stuff considering lack of match fitness

That seems far from surprising given that this is a player who has moved between Barcelona and Juventus and was once compared to Blaugrana legend Xavi by his former teammate Leo Messi.

That said, there has been a significant downfall for the 26-year-old since his Camp Nou days with Massimiliano Allegri simply wanting little to do with the playmaker.
It’s a reality that has led some to suggest that Arthur is simply ‘another body’ in the team to boost numbers and some surprisingly see the potential in a player who arguably still has significant quality whom we could acquire quite cheaply in summer.
Early signs, judging by Balague’s online update, seem to suggest that the latter eventuality remains plausible, though only time will tell on that score.
