‘If Emre Leaves, We Riot’ – Liverpool fans react to reports of Juventus targeting Emre Can on social media

Liverpool star Emre Can has just over 12 months remaining on his contract and has yet to sign an extension.

Can’s current contract situation has resulted in a nervy stand off with Liverpool fans wondering whether he will sign a new deal or leave.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp remains hopeful that the midfielder of Turkish origin will stay on over the summer.

“After his bicycle kick probably everyone wants him to stay,” Klopp was quoted as saying in the Guardian.

“I think it is no secret how much I like Emre. He likes the club and that is a completely normal situation. We are in talks and there is absolutely no pressure, it is all good. It is two partners with big respect for each other. If we can keep good players that makes sense for development and he is one of these good players. I am quite positive.”

There’s a reason top teams like Juventus & Bayern want Emre Can. He’s a top lad with bags of talent & a ridiculously high talent ceiling.

To sell Emre would be beyond stupidity. Klopp will make sure we keep him.

Keeping hold of Emre Can is just as important as any midfield signing we make this summer. That contract needs sorting ASAP.

Don’t understand how Lovren got a new contract when he’s had an on and off season, yet we are taking the piss with giving emre a pay rise

Juventus and Bayern seem to have interest in Emre Can (rightly so).

May I ask which clubs have interest in Hendo? ??

Emre Can wanted by Juventus. Selling him would be a terrible mistake as he will only get better and better. World class future ahead of him.

Could the Juventus link be manufactured by his representatives to get a better deal?

Tbf his agent is pushing all the right buttons here to get the deal he wants from LFC
