Arthur Melo Bids Farewell To Liverpool After Loan Spell Comes To An End

The 26-year-old moved to Anfield from Juventus on a short-term loan deal in January to boost the Reds' midfield options on transfer deadline day.

Prior to his transfer to Jurgen Klopp's side, he had spent two seasons at Juve, where he made 63 appearances and scored one goal after signing from Barcelona in September 2020.

Injuries limited Melo to only one appearance for Liverpool who finished fifth in the Premier League table - missing out on Champions League qualification.

“As my contract with Liverpool comes to an end, I would like to thank everyone (coaches, players and staff) for all their support over the last season,” the Brazil midfielder posted on social media.

“I want you to know that I will have an eternal gratitude to the club. The fans are undoubtedly one of the most incredible around the world. The emotion of a game at Anfield is really impressive.

“Finally, I would like to thank the entire community of Liverpool and the region for welcoming my family over the last few months. I will always have beautiful memories of the days I lived here.

“Good luck for the future!”

Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, James Milner, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will all leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts this summer.

The quartet played a key role in helping Liverpool clinch six trophies during their spells at Anfield.
