“It’s a big blow for Liverpool” – Gary Neville makes huge transfer claim following 4-3 win

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has made a huge transfer claim regarding Liverpool’s Emre Can.

Neville believes Liverpool star Emre Can is good enough to play for the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. The Sky Sports pundit went on to state that Can would be a huge loss to Liverpool if they allow him to leave on a free.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a Merseyside exit after failing to put pen-to-paper on a new contract. Can has under five months remaining on his contract.

“I think Can is a fantastic player, he’s got personality and character.

“And I think he brings a lot to this Liverpool team in terms of his character.

“The three in midfield and the three up top were brilliant in that first half and they set the tone for how you could play against Man City, if you’ve got that energy and ability.

“It’s a big blow for Liverpool. It probably won’t make the headlines of Coutinho but for me to lose him, Juventus are a clever club.

“They sign players who are intelligent, who know the game, are shrewd and for me I’ve liked him for 18 months, two years.

“I know he’s got a mixed reception on Merseyside in terms of how good he is, I’ve even had debates with Jamie Carragher.

“I’ve said I think he’s a player that will play for Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.

“He’s like a man on the pitch, has authority and there aren’t many around of them around those type of players. So for me it would be a big loss to Liverpool.”

Can played a crucial role during Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday night.

The Germany international has retained his place in Jurgen Klopp’s starting eleven despite the on-going contract dispute.

Can is expected to be back in action for Liverpool when they take on Swansea City on January 22.
