Aston Villa are interested in Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo.
Arthur has just completed a loan with Liverpool and has been encouraged to find himself a new club.
A return to England has been mooted for Arthur where Villa are keen.
The Brazil midfielder's agent Federico Pastorello said: "Arthur? He's not part of the coach's tactical plans even if there's great mutual esteem.
"So inevitably we'll have to find a new loan deal or in any case a permanent sale."
