Euro giants hope to convince Liverpool to sell international star in January

Serie A giants Juventus are still hopeful of signing Liverpool star midfielder Emre Can in January.

The 23-year-old has been closely linked with a move away from Merseyside after failing to pen a new deal. Can has entered the final six months of his contract and will be able to hold talks with European clubs from January 1 onwards.

According to the Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Juventus want to sign Can in January in order to avoid a summer ‘auction’.

However, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is determined to keep hold of his star midfielder.

Can played a starring role during Liverpool’s victory over Brighton in the Premier League last weekend.

The 23-year-old scored his sides opening goal and played the full 90 minutes as part of a three-man defence.

Liverpool take on APOEL in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday before taking on Everton in the Merseyside derby.
