Liverpool’s potential new signing Arthur Melo has already had the backing of Lionel Messi.
The Reds are exploring the possibility of signing the Juventus midfielder on loan for the remainder of the season. The ECHO understands that the Reds are looking at a deal to sign the Brazil international, with some reports claiming that the player is flying to Merseyside for a medical.
While interested in a potential deal for Arthur, Liverpool are continuing to assess other ways of bolstering their midfield options before the deadline. Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz is another player who has been linked with a move to Anfield on deadline day.
