Arthur Melo has confirmed that he will leave Liverpool this summer.
The Brazil international’s stay at Anfield failed to live up to expectations as he was plagued by a thigh injury for most of a season-long loan from Juventus.
He has played just 13 minutes for Jurgen Klopp’s side towards the end of a 4-1 drubbing by Napoli in their opening Champions League group encounter.
Given his lack of game time, the Reds have passed up the option in the deal to make Arthur’s stay a permanent one when the current campaign finishes.
But the 26-year-old insists that he does not regret making a temporary switch to Merseyside as he prepares to return to Juve at the end of this month.
“Since I arrived, Klopp has treated me really well. It is an honour for me to work with Jurgen,” Arthur told Goal.
“He is one of the best coaches in the world, he has always spoken well of me, he is someone incredible and the treatment has always been really good, elegant and special.
“The fact of being able to train with someone like him always gives you a lot as a player and I’m sure it’s useful for what’s to come because you learn a lot from him.
“Now that I’m recovered, I would obviously like to be able to play more.
“But I can understand that the situation now is different from what happened when I arrived because at that time the team had some needs and now it has others.
“But I have the peace of mind that when I talk to them and they tell me that no one has any complaints with me, quite the opposite.
“Also all of Liverpool in general, they have treated me great and I only have good words for them and a very special affection.”
