Liverpool transfer news: Emre Can nearing Juventus move after arriving in Turin

Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has landed in Turin and is on the verge of becoming a Juventus player as he undergoes his medical on Thursday.

The 24-year-old’s contract at Anfield expires this month and Jurgen Klopp was unable to negotiate a deal with him to keep him at the club, despite his best attempts.

Can has been linked with Juve for several months and the Serie A champions teed up his signing by posting a video on Twitter of the player being greeted by club officials at Turin Airport.

It was also accompanied by a picture with the caption "Emre Can has landed in Turin".

Liverpool and Can had been locked in talks since 2016 and it is understood his insistence on the inclusion of a buy-out clause in the deal is understood to be the sticking point.

Can arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2014 during Brendan Rodgers’ tenure following a £9.75m move from Bayer Leverkusen.

The Germany international has made 156 appearances for Liverpool in the years since and established himself as a key member of Jürgen Klopp’s first team.
