Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to hold crunch talks with Germany international – Man United & Juve also interested
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has not given up hopes of extending Emre Can’s contract with the club.
Can’s Liverpool future is cast in doubt after failing to pen a new deal.
The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Juventus in recent weeks but could end up leaving the club for free next summer.
Liverpool’s bitter rivals Manchester United have also been linked with a move for the combative midfielder.
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Klopp will hold crunch talks with Can in the hope of convincing him to stay at Liverpool.

Meanwhile, the report goes on to state that Juventus have now requested formal permission to speak with the midfielder as per FIFA guidelines.
Can could be back in action this weekend when Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield in the Premier League.
