Was going to be the new Gerrard, was worth 70 million and now nobody wants to buy him

Young promises do not always become reality, either by one circumstance or another, many players fall by the wayside of becoming what they could have been one day. It is not uncommon to see players who were once compared to the great legends, struggling to continue playing in a team that wants to buy them after having disappointed everyone.

Liverpool has experienced this situation on several occasions, most recently a year ago when the board managed to close a deal to bring to Jürgen Klopp's team a player who promised to become the new star of the team, but instead ended up disappointing all the fans and even Klopp himself.

We are talking about Arthur Melo, the Brazilian midfielder who arrived on loan last year from Juventus. His arrival excited all Liverpool fans, as he was a young player with a good future projection and was even compared to Anfield legend Steven Gerrard, as many saw in him a player with similar characteristics.

Arthur's time at Anfield could hardly have been worse. He only played one game for Jürgen Klopp's side and could never convince him to return to the first team, as injuries also kept him out of action. That is why at the end of the season, Liverpool made it clear that they would not try to buy him, so Melo had to return to Juventus, where he was told that he did not fit in the coach's plans, which is why he had to look for a new team. After several weeks, it seems that Arthur has finally found a club that wants him, but is not willing to buy him permanently.

Where will Arthur play next season?

According to several reports, Arthur would be very close to joining Fiorentina, a team that has shown interest in taking him to their team. However, they would not be willing to buy him and would only be looking to get him on loan for one year.
