Jurgen Klopp is certain to decide against triggering the buy-out clause in Arthur Melo’s loan deal with the Liverpool boss set to look elsewhere for a new signing to bolster his midfield ranks.
Liverpool’s options in the engine room have come under much criticism this season with the Reds faltering in their efforts to mount a title challenge as inconsistent form sees them sit outside the top four in the standings.
The Anfield giants had been on the search for a midfield signing last summer but had to settle for bringing in Juventus maestro Arthur Melo in a deadline day swoop with the Brazilian arriving on Merseyside on a season-loan transfer.
According to a report from Goal, it is claimed that Liverpool hold no interest in retaining the 26-year-old midfielder beyond the expiry of his loan terms, setting the stage for his return to the Serie A bigwigs Juventus next summer.
Borussia Dortmund sensation Jude Bellingham, tipped to be one of the most promising names in world football over the past year and a half, is reportedly Klopp’s first choice name on the shopping list for the coming transfer windows.
