“you normally leave for a bigger club” – Owen sends blunt warning to Liverpool contract rebel

Former Liverpool star striker Michael Owen has sent out a warning to contract-rebel Emre Can.

The 24-year-old Germany international has entered the final eight months of his contract with Liverpool. Can could end up leaving the club for free next summer unless a new deal can be agreed.

Serie A giants Juventus have been linked with a move for the combative midfielder in recent weeks.

However, Owen has warned Can against a move away from the club, stating that he will struggle to find a better club than Liverpool.

“Is he going to get better than Liverpool though?” Owen told BT Sport

“When you run your contract down, you normally leave for a bigger club.”

Can has been in impressive form for Liverpool in recent weeks and scored for the Reds during their 3-0 win over Maribor.

Jurgen Klopp’s side recorded a 3-1 win over West Ham United over the weekend and take on Southampton in their next Premier League fixture.
