'We made our choices' - Juventus boss Max Allegri sends Arthur Melo message after Liverpool move

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has sent a message to Arthur Melo after the Brazil international joined Liverpool on loan on transfer deadline day.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Old Lady in a £75m move from Barcelona in 2020, endured an underwhelming two-year stint in Turin and made only 20 Serie A appearances last season following Allegri's return to the club. Not featuring for Juve during the opening weeks of the season, he was one of a number of midfielders to leave the club this summer along with the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Denis Zakaria, as Juventus looked to balance the books after bringing in Angel Di Maria, Paul Pogba, Filip Kostic and Leandro Paredes.

After the transfer window closed, Allegri was asked about Juventus' summer business and the deadline day arrival of Paredes from Paris Saint-Germain. And he explained his decision to sanction Arthur' s departure to Liverpool when reflecting on his midfield options.
