The agent of Arthur Melo has indicated his client will return to Juventus at the end of the season with Liverpool seemingly having no plans to trigger the option-to-buy clause in the midfielder's loan deal.
The Brazilian made the move to Anfield on the final day of the summer transfer window as Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp scrambled around for a replacement for Jordan Henderson, who had sustained a hamstring injury against Newcastle United the night before the deadline.
However, Arthur has only made one appearance for the Reds' first-team in the six months since - an underwhelming 13-minute cameo in the 4-1 drubbing against Napoli back in September - as surgery on a thigh issue left the midfielder sidelined from October to February.
