Roma are being linked with out-of-favor Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo.

After a positive season on loan at Fiorentina, Arthur is back in Turin and eager to leave Juventus as he no longer fits the club’s plans.

The former Barcelona midfielder is being shopped around Europe in search of a permanent solution on the market.

According to Spanish news outlet Marca, Arthur’s priority is to play in the Premier League where he spent a brief and unmemorable stint with Liverpool.

However, reports the news outlet, a more realistic scenario would be his continued stay in Serie A where Roma and Napoli have both shown interest in him.

Roma have made inquiries for him on De Rossi’s request – the Roma head coach considers Arthur a good fit for his system.

Napoli are rumored to have made a preliminary offer.
