Transfer window is open now in the footballing world and every club will use this opportunity to improve their squad. Newcastle United are on the same path too and recently they have been linked to an interesting player.
There have been many been rumors about Newcastle going for the Brazilian and the former Liverpool midfielder Arthur Melo. He joined Liverpool on loan from Juventus in 2022, but it was a very disappointing period because of the injuries.
However, now Arthur has another chance to return back to Premier league as Newcastle United and Everton are interested to sign the midfielder. The Brazilian is interested to return to premier league, but there is the possibility of staying in Italy too. AS Roma and Napoli are also interested to sign the midfielder.
The interesting case of Arthur Melo
It was a turn of events for Arthur when he joined Florentina on loan last season. Despite the injury concern, he managed to make 48 appearances throughout all the competitions last season. For now, he will return to Juventus for the pre season. It’s up to the new manager Thiago Motta to decide Arthur’s future at Juventus.
Both Everton and Newcastle are keen on signing the player and Eddie Howe is looking forward to upgrading the midfielder after the departure of Elliott Anderson and Yankuba Minet.
Newcastle are serious this transfer window
Newcastle suffered major disappointment last season in terms of their overrall performance. One of the crucial reasons for that was the lack of squad depth. Eddie Howe wants to make sure that it doesn’t happen and is keen to develop the squad depth this transfer window.
Magpies have already secured the signing of the defender Lloyd Kelly and now their focus is on developing the midfield, attacking and the goalkeeping department. Furthermore, Newcastle is a more lucrative offer compared to that of Everton. They constantly compete in the European competitions and have been in the top 6 battle too.
The prospect of playing in the European competition coupled with the tactical setup of Eddie Howe just makes it more ideal for Arthur than the Everton’s offer.
The Brazilian’s time at Juventus
However, if Juventus decides to keep him, then it can be another chance for Arthur to excel in the midfield for Juventus He joined Juventus from FC Barcelona in 2020 but he did not have that impact on the team that he would have hoped for.
In 42 appearances over 2 seasons for the Old Lady, Arthur has only scored 1 goal and its not a time period that fans would remember him for. He has the opportunity to stay and change his story at Juventus or maybe try his luck someplace else.
Conclusion
Arthur Melo is a quality player that has the potential to be a good center midfielder in any team but unfortunately it hasn’t clicked for the Brazilian yet. This transfer window has the potential to change the trajectory of his career.
It surely would be interesting to see what route the Brazilian will take. One last shot at the Italian club or is it time to say goodbye and try somewhere else. Only the time will answer this question, but we surely have another interesting transfer story this window.
