Can will become a free agent at the end of the season unless he signs a new contract.

The 24-year-old is reported to have a gentlemen’s agreement in place with Juventus but neither him nor Liverpool have confirmed the rumors.

Jurgen Klopp has kept faith in Can and used him as a first-choice midfielder despite reports linking him with an exit.

The star midfielder wants to wait until the end of the season to make a decision.

Perhaps Liverpool’s league finish and Champions League run could end up being a factor over where he ends up beyond the end of the season.

Can has been in good form recently and the report from Italy claims he wants no distractions as he is intent on making the Germany World Cup squad in Russia.
