Arthur Melo only joined Liverpool on a season-long loan from Juventus two weeks ago, yet it's claimed manager Jurgen Klopp has already made his mind up about the midfielder
Liverpool are reportedly considering terminating Arthur Melo's loan - just two weeks after he joined the club on a season-long loan.
The Reds signed Arthur, 26, from Juventus on deadline day to ease their midfield woes. Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all suffered injuries this season, leaving them short in that department.
Jurgen Klopp admitted Liverpool needed to sign a central midfielder at the end of the window but was adamant they would only sign the right player. Arthur was brought in as a temporary solution, with Liverpool expected to sign a long-term successor next summer.
Yet it appears the Merseyside club might dip into the market sooner than expected. According to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Liverpool are considering terminating Arthur's loan deal in January when they can find a replacement for the Brazil international.
It's claimed Klopp has seen enough of Arthur and believes he is not the right man for the job. He was left on the bench for Liverpool's 2-1 Champions League win against Ajax on Tuesday after playing the final 13 minutes of their 4-1 defeat to Napoli six days before.
Massimiliano Allegri is reportedly not interested in reintegrating Arthur into his Juventus squad if the loan is cancelled, potentially leaving the Brazilian in li
mbo.
