Cologne (SID) – After a bumpy start to the season, the top English football club FC Liverpool has struck again on the transfer market. As the Reds announced by team manager Jürgen Klopp on Thursday evening, defensive midfielder Arthur Melo will be loaned out from Italian record champions Juventus Turin to Anfield for a year.
“I played against Liverpool. I know how it feels to walk out in the stadium and have the fans behind you,” said the new signing, who played as a Barca pro in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Klopp in May 2019. Team came on: “Now I’m on the right page and I’m really excited. It’s a dream to be here.”
The 26-year-old Brazilian switched from FC Barcelona to Juventus in the summer of 2020. Arthur played 63 competitive games for the Old Lady, in which he scored one goal and one assist.
