Italian chief believes move for Liverpool star midfielder is ‘a done deal’

Former Napoli sporting director Pierpaolo Marino has stated that Emre Can has already agreed to join Juventus this summer.

Can has entered the final four months of his contract with the Merseyside based club and is free to discuss terms with foreign clubs.

The 24-year-old could end up leaving for Liverpool in the summer unless a new deal is struck.

“Juve will only sign Florenzi if he plays in the midfield. He is not a full-back, but is a converted one,” Marino told the Italian media publication Calcio Mercato.

“But there are others in the role who are better than him. Can, for me, is a done deal and will come in.”

Can didn’t feature during Liverpool’s 5-0 win over FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League last week due to a suspension.

The Germany international is available for selection for Liverpool’s encounter with West Ham United this weekend.

Can four assists and five goals in 32 appearances in for Liverpool this season.
