Arthur Melo's agent has confirmed he will have to find another club following his spell on loan at Liverpool.
The Brazilian arrived in August from Serie A giants Juventus but managed just 13 minutes of senior football as he failed to forge a starting position in Jurgen Klopp's side. His cameo for the Reds came during their dismal away trip against Napoli in the Champions League.
Despite that, he featured on a few occasions for Barry Lewtas' side in the Papa John's Trophy plus some outings in Premier League 2. Now, it appears that his career in Turin is all but over as his agent has confirmed he will have to find another home ahead of the upcoming campaign.

"Melo will return to Juve. Liverpool said so too and we will probably have to find another solution for him, because he is not in Allegri’s tactical plans," said agent Federico Pastorello speaking to Sky Sport Italia via Football Italia.
"We must work to find a solution. The injury kept him out for four months and he didn’t have much room."
The 26-year-old was initially meant to return to the Serie A outfit, with his current contract running until 2025, but now his future remains unclear following comments from his agent.
Arthur expressed 'eternal gratitude' to the Anfield club as he bid farewell. He posted: "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.
"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!"
