Manchester United have been given the green light to pursue a deal for Juventus ace Emre Can.
The former Liverpool midfielder is on the fringes of Maurizio Sarri’s first team, managing just one start in Serie A this season.
He was also left out of Juventus’ squad for the Champions League group stage, sparking speculation over his future.
According to Tuttosport , the Old Lady will allow Can to leave in the January transfer window but United will face competition for his signature.
Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also reportedly interested in the Germany international.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s midfield options have been reduced over the course of the year.
Marouane Fellaini was allowed to leave Shandong Luneng at the start of the year, while Ander Herrera completed a free transfer to PSG at the end of last season.
Can, who is reportedly valued at around £35m by Juventus, has plenty of Premier League experience after spending four seasons with Liverpool.
The German made 115 appearances before joining the Serie A giants on a free transfer in 2018.
He was a regular under previous boss Massimiliano Allegri but has found himself kicking his heels on the sidelines under Sarri.
"The fact that I am not in the Champions League squad is extremely shocking for me, mainly because I was promised something different last week," Can said in September.
"I had talks with other clubs [in the summer] and one of the conditions for me to stay was to be part of the Champions League squad. Then they phoned me and told me, in a conversation that didn't even last a minute, that I was not on the list and they didn't give an explanation.
"That makes me angry and furious, they haven't been honest with me. If I knew about it earlier, I would not have stayed at Juventus."
