Emre Can’s Juventus deal edging ever closer. Sources in Italy believe it will be announced after CL final. Five-year contract, worth €5m a year plus bonuses.
Winning goal in Kiev before he goes? #LFC //t.co/LIDKWlv4PU

Tuttosport meanwhile claimed the deal is 99 percent done and that he will be joining soon after the Champions League final.
We took a look at how Liverpool fans reacted to the latest reports that the midfielder of Turkish origin will be joining Juventus.
To be fair Liverpool fans did not seem all that bothered with the reports that Can will be leaving. Perhaps they have become desensitized to the news, after all this is not the first time the Italian media has claimed the midfielder will be leaving.
Why even wait 2 weeks. Just get him out now

Coutinho better than Can was not missed… Why would Can own be different?

Made up. I swear this is not sour grapes either. Was never good enough for us to get to that next level. Inconsistent, average, shocking touch. Happy.

Good riddance

I genuinely am baffled by this decision. The most exciting team in Europe for the most boring and corrupt team in Europe. As Adrian Durham said…a poor man’s Khedira

Is anyone really that worked up over this? Feel like if Klopp really wanted him, he would have stayed.

I cant for life of me think why Can would want to leave one of the most exciting teams in Europe now, or is it something else like the weather he doesn’t like etc… Because if its down to football decision it doesn’t make sense

Who cares?? This has dragged on far too long now. Can will live to regret leaving LFC & Klopp at this stage of his career. And all because of a release clause ?

Anyone agree with this? afterall Liverpool are still paying his wages so would it make sense to make use of him in the final against Real Madrid if he’s fit?
And the reports could all turn out to be lies, Can could actually remain at Liverpool if he signs a contract extension.
Be great if Emre can make the final. Ton of reasons. He was key to qualifying, been good in Europe all season, useful from the bench to do all sorts no matter how the game is.
And more than anything else I love the player whose last act for Liverpool is to win the European Cup.

And we’re still paying his wages why not use him in some capacity if fit

If he’s fit and willing, why not?
