'Spit in the eyes' - Juventus slammed after Arthur Melo transfer to Liverpool

Former Roma forward and Italian international Antonio Cassano has questioned why Juventus have allowed Arthur Melo to join Liverpool on loan.

The Reds yesterday completed a temporary move for the Brazilian, who will spend the remainder of the 2022/23 season at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp had come under pressure from supporters to strengthen in this position of the pitch in recent weeks, with another injury in this department to captain Jordan Henderson urging the club into action.

Arthur made 20 league appearances for Juventus last term as they finished fourth in Serie A, though he was yet to feature for the Old Lady in 22/23 prior to agreeing a move to Merseyside.
