The Brazilian midfielder spent an ill-fated injury-plagued season with the Reds back during the 2022/23 campaign, which saw Arthur play just 13 senior first-team minutes for Liverpool. His sole appearance for Liverpool came in the Champions League against Napoli, a game the Reds lost 4-1.
While he returned to Italy last season, he was sent out on-loan immediately, joining Fiorentina. He made 48 appearances for the Serie A side, helping them reach the Europa Conference League final in the process.
And the 27-year-old now looks to be on the move once again. Incoming Juventus manager Thiago Motta has left Arthur out of the Old Lady's pre-season touring squad for their trip to Germany, likely signalling the end of his career at the club.
The Mirror claims Everton and Leicester City are both interested in the Brazilian, whose contract runs until 2026. He has also been linked to Cesc Fabregas' Como, who won promotion to Serie A last term. And a move to Como would see Arthur link up with former Reds Pepe Reina and Alberto Moreno.
A move to Everton would see him return to Merseyside, possibly with a point to prove given how frustrating his spell at Liverpool was. Just over a month into his loan spell, on October 3, 2022, the Juventus loanee pulled up at training in Kirkby with a shooting pain in his thigh.

And unfortunately for Arthur, it emerged he had torn a muscle, which would rule him out for three to four months, effectively ending his Anfield career before it ever even got started.
With Liverpool battling for a Champions League place that season, which they missed out on, then Reds boss Jurgen Klopp opted to field a midfield of players he knew he could trust. Arthur would only feature five times on the bench for the remainder of Liverpool's season, and did not make another senior appearance.
