Juventus are confident they will be able to sign Emre Can on a free transfer in the summer, the Serie A side having offered the Germany international a five-year contract worth £85,000 a week and a sizeable signing-on fee.
The 23-year-old is out of contract at the end of the 2017-18 season and has been unable to agree a new deal with Liverpool. The Germany international is wanted by a host of top European clubs but Juventus believe they have stolen a march on everyone else and that a deal will be concluded soon.
The Turin club has held positive talks with Can’s representatives with the player seeking reassurances of how he fits in to Max Allegri’s plans.
Can joined Liverpool for £9.75m in 2014 after the Premier League club met the buyout clause in his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. He has won 20 caps for Germany, having made his debut in September 2015.
Juventus were interested in signing Can in January but were told by Liverpool that there was no chance of that happening.
Liverpool have already signed a central midfielder for next season with Naby Keïta arriving from RB Leipzig for a fee in the region of £55m.
