Arthur Melo currently resides at Fiorentina after struggling at Liverpool last season.
The Merseyside club signed the midfielder on loan from Juventus in 2022 and he has made just four appearances. He battled injuries and required surgery, which sidelined him for nearly 150 days last season.
Corriere dello Sport interviewed 27-year-old physiotherapist Adrián Martínez Castro. He spoke about many topics, including his disappointment at Liverpool.
He understood how badly the injury at Anfield had affected the Brazilian’s psyche.“When he suffered a quadriceps injury at Liverpool, he had a particular fear.
Even after recovery, the break affected him as he feared he would self-harm again. It’s water under the bridge. This is correct. “Now only Fiorentina is left,” he said.
Last summer, the Turin club allowed the former Barcelona player to join Fiorentina on loan.
The move was much needed after poor performances at Liverpool and it has paid off so far. He regularly served under the orders of Vincenzo Italiano.
He mainly plays as a defensive midfielder and has also registered two assists in 25 games this season. While Arthur has been impressive this season, Adrian Martinez says Castro has yet to hit his peak.
