The Reds face a difficult decision to either sell Can over the winter transfer window or hold out and try to reach an agreement over a contract extension.

Liverpool could end up losing the 23-year-old on a free transfer next summer unless a contract deal is struck.

Juventus want Can in January but could face competition from Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

City would not however, be able to enter talks in January for Can. Only foreign clubs are permitted to have direct negotiations.
