Discussions are currently underway at Everton as the club looks to bring in another fresh face to Goodison Park, building on the four additions already made this summer. Director of Football Kevin Thelwell has been active in the transfer market, securing the signings of Tim Iroegbunam, Jesper Lindstrom, Jake O’Brien, and Iliman Ndiaye, while also finalizing the departures of Amadou Onana, Ben Godfrey, and Lewis Dobbin.
The latest player in the mix for a move to Everton is Arthur Melo, as reported by Tuttosport. Juventus is reportedly looking to offload the Brazilian midfielder, whom they acquired from Barcelona in a high-profile deal. With his contract situation at Juventus and interest from clubs like Everton and Leicester, Arthur could be on the move this summer. What could give Everton the edge in negotiations is Arthur’s brief loan spell at Liverpool – a stint that could make the Brazilian familiar with the Merseyside area.
Arthur’s playing style, characterized by exceptional passing ability and control on the ball, has drawn comparisons to legendary midfielder Xavi by none other than Lionel Messi. The Brazilian’s skill and vision could bring a new dynamic to Sean Dyche’s tactics at Everton, potentially reinforcing the Toffees’ midfield and build-up play.
Currently, talks are ongoing between Everton and Juventus regarding a potential deal for Arthur. With the Brazilian’s reputation as one of Europe’s top passers and his ability to create opportunities on the field, Everton fans may have reason to be excited about the prospect of seeing him don the blue jersey at Goodison Park. As negotiations progress, keep a close watch on this situation as Everton looks to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
