“I have a lot of affection for Barça, it looks like they will win LaLiga,” he says
The Brazilian acknowledges that he was close to signing for Valencia in an interview with ‘Goal’
Arthur Melo lives an impasse situation in Liverpool. In September 2002 he arrived on loan from Juventus, with a purchase option valued at 37.5 million, but his experience in the Premier has been disappointing.
So much so that the Brazilian will return to Juventus this summer, but it is not clear that he will continue in the Italian team. The midfielder has conceded an interview with ‘Goal’where he recalled his time in LaLiga as a Barça player.
“I was very lucky to play in three strong leagues. Spain, Italy, England… I adapted very well to the League in its day, in a few months I adapted well. The League caught my attention and of course I could give myself the opportunity to return. The League is a championship that I already know, that I have adapted well to and for me and my style of play, teams that play attacking are good for me, those are my characteristics. If there is a team that bets on having the ball, that It’s good for me,” he said.
The Brazilian has recognized that he was also close to going on loan to Valencia. “We were talking with Valencia. There we were thinking about whether it was yes or no. I had to talk to Juventus to see if they would authorize my transfer to Valencia or not. In the end they ended up signing another player. I had a conversation with Gattuso, a person “That I admire and respect a lot. In the end, the clubs did not finish closing the business, things that happen in football. In the end, the negotiation did not come out and it was Liverpool who came for me, they bet on me for something that I am very grateful for.” ;.
Barcelona pending
Arthur has also recognized that he follows the news of Barça and that it was a stage that he enjoyed a lot. “Of course I follow Barça news. I have seen the games. He looks like he’s going to win the League. I have a lot of affection for Barça. Above all, to the fans, who have given me everything. I have many good memories and hopefully they will be champions.”
In a quick questionnaire, the Brazilian has also referred to Busquets to the question of who is the best midfielder he has ever played with. “Busquets. He has a lot of quality. He is an extremely intelligent person. He plays in a very special, complicated place, where players appear from all sides, he has a lot of the ball, he takes risks at Barça and with Spain, but Busquets is very careful, he hardly He loses balls and complies perfectly& rdquor ;.
