Euro giants keep tabs on Liverpool contract-rebel Emre Can who is seen as Khedira’s replacement

Serie A giants Juventus are preparing for life without their star Germany international midfielder Samì Khedira.

According to Calciomercato, Juve have set their sights on Emre Can as a replacement for Khedira. Per the source, Juve CEO Beppe Marotta has confirmed that the Serie A champions are keeping tabs on Can.

Can’s long-term Liverpool future is cast in doubt with just ten-months remaining on his contract with the Reds.

According to the Liverpool Echo, the reason negotiations with Liverpool have stalled is because Can wants a release clause included within his new deal. The Merseyside based club are however unwilling to include such a clause.

Can has played a staring role for Liverpool so far this season. The 23-year-old has cemented his place in Jurgen Klopp’s starting lineup in midfield.

Liverpool take on Spartak Moscow in the UEFA Champions League tonight at the Otkrytiye Arena. Can has been included in the Liverpool squad which traveled to Russia.
