Liverpool Star ‘Agrees Pre-Contract Terms’ With European Giants

Liverpool star Emre Can is set to leave the club on a free transfer next summer according to reports in Italy.

Juventus are reported to have agreed a €4m per-year contract with the midfielder of Turkish origin.

As reported by Italian television network Rai Sport, via Football Italia the 23-year-old will sign a five-year deal with the reigning Serie A champions at the end of the season.

Can’s contract with the Reds expires in June, which allows teams to sign him on a pre-contract deal with a non Premier League side in February.

Can has not categorically ruled out a new agreement with the club but as of yet an extension deal has not been struck.

Inter and Real Madrid have also been closely linked with Can who joined Liverpool on a £10 million move in 2014.

Despite being linked with an Anfield exit and nearing the end of his contract, head coach Jurgen Klopp has kept faith in Can.

The central midfielder has managed to keep his place in the first-team making 20 appearances in all competitions.
