Liverpool midfielder Arthur Melo is reportedly set to leave the club in May and return to his parent club Juventus after his disastrous loan spell.

The 26-year-old only joined the Reds on deadline day in the summer, when he agreed a season-long loan deal from the Serie A giants as boss Jurgen Klopp looked to bolster his midfield and solve an ongoing injury crisis.

Liverpool paid £3million to secure the loan deal, which included an option to buy the midfielder permanently for £33million.
