Liverpool have received another boost in their bid to keep Emre Can at Anfield beyond the end of the season.
Tuttosport claim that Juventus keep in contract with the midfielder of Turkish origin daily but have still been unable to get him to sign a pre-contract.
Per the source, the Italian giants are starting to grow worried and are facing competitions from the likes of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
The report claims that Can is looking for a ‘new adventure’ so Bayern would be a less attractive option.

Juve are still reported to be favorites to sign the 24-year-old but have accepted they are not guaranteed to complete the move.
The latest report comes in stark contrast to Can stating his agent has put all negotiations on hold until the end of the season.
“I haven’t signed for any other club, I’m just focused on this season. We want to finish in second place in the Premier League, we’re in the Champions League quarter-finals and we want to progress. That’s all I’m focused on now,” he said last week.
“My agent has blocked all the negotiations, I’m thinking only of football.”
The problem for Liverpool is that if Can does not sign a contract extension before the end of the campaign he will become a free agent.
The Reds have not given up hope of the midfielder staying on next season.
As things stand Can is in no rush to make a decision as he can towards the end of the season and pick from several clubs.
