da gbg bet: According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus have made a £22.5m offer for Liverpool midfielder Emre Can as the Italian champions look to sign the German international this summer.
What’s the story?
da dobrowin: Can, who helped Germany win the Confederations Cup in Russia earlier this summer, scored five times and registered two assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season.
The 23-year-old has entered the final year of his contract at Liverpool, however, and it is understood that the two parties are struggling to come to an agreement.
Towards the end of last month, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insisted that Can would not be leaving Anfield this summer, but negotiations are no further forward approaching the start of the new season.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus have been closely monitoring proceedings over the last couple of weeks, and have now made an offer of £22.5m in order to bring the midfielder to Turin.
Would it represent a fair deal for Liverpool?
It is extremely difficult to determine a fair price in the current market when considering the amount of money that has been spent by European clubs in this transfer window.
Under normal circumstances, an offer of £22.5m for a player that will be out of contract next summer would be considered quite generous, but it would not be a surprise if Liverpool rejected the interest.
Can has had his problems since moving to Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in 2014, but he showed his immense potential last season, and is a key part of Germany’s plans moving forward.
Juventus have seemingly identified Can as the perfect signing after missing out on a number of other targets, although Liverpool will surely make a last-ditch attempt to thrash out a deal.
It seems increasingly likely that Philippe Coutinho will leave Liverpool for Barcelona this summer, and losing Can in the same window would be a big blow for the Merseyside outfit.
