After a successful loan spell at Fiorentina, Arthur Melo, the 27-year-old Brazilian midfielder, has returned to his parent club Juventus. However, his future in Turin remains uncertain as La Viola decided against making his move permanent. Amidst this uncertainty, interest from the Premier League has emerged, with Everton reportedly leading the chase for the former Liverpool player.
According to reports from Sky Sport Italia (via tuttomercatoweb), Everton has shown strong interest in securing Arthur’s services. The Toffees are currently seeking initial information about the player, indicating that their pursuit is still in the early stages.
As Thiago Motta settles into his new role as the head coach of Juventus, the future of Arthur at the club remains unclear. Motta is expected to sit down and discuss Arthur’s situation when the pre-season training commences next month, at which point the Brazilian’s role in the team’s plans will become more apparent.
Arthur’s agent has revealed that the player is remaining calm about his future, acknowledging the interest from Everton but emphasizing that it is still in the preliminary stages. However, Everton’s uncertain future, following the much-publicized failed takeover attempt by 777 Sport, may play a crucial role in Arthur’s final decision if he decides to pursue a move away from Turin.
