ARTHUR MELO changed his Twitter location to Liverpool as he all but confirmed his loan transfer from Juventus.
The 26-year-old midfielder is understood to have already agreed terms on a move to Anfield after a fee was finalised between the two clubs.
And his social media activity on the evening of deadline day seemed to suggest it was all done.
As well as putting Liverpool, England as his new base, the Brazil ace posted a 'thank you' video montage of highlights from his time at Juventus.
Melo, who was previously being chased by Arsenal, will head to Liverpool on a loan deal - with no option to buy included in the package.
Now he is due to undergo a medical before completing the surprise switch.
Transfer guru reported earlier that the Brazilian international was preparing to fly from Turin's Caselle airport to Merseyside in order to finalise the transfer, with footage now emerging of him boarding a flight.
The former Barcelona ace left the Nou Camp for Juventus back in 2020 and helped them to Coppa Italia success.
But he only scored once and produced one assist during his two campaigns in Serie A.
However, that has not appeared to have deterred Jurgen Klopp from making a swoop for the South American.

The Reds suffered a fresh injury blow in last night’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Newcastle as skipper Jordan Henderson limped off with a hamstring injury.
Despite the season being just five games old, Klopp’s squad is already looking depleted after several stars suffered knocks.
Fellow midfielders Curtis Jones, Naby Keita, Thiago and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all spent time on the treatment table.
But now Melo’s arrival will at least help soften the fresh blow of Henderson being sidelined.
Klopp will now be anxiously waiting to see if Melo is granted a work permit in time to be available for Saturday's derby clash at Everton.
