Liverpool star Emre Can has agreed to join Serie A champions Juventus in the summer, according to Italian agent Federico Pastorello.
The agent – who represents Antonio Candreva, Nani, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Patrice Evra – claims it is a done deal.
“Emre Can is a huge coup, even more so because he’ll arrive on a free transfer. Marotta and Paratici have done very well,” he told Tuttosport.
Can has issued a response to the latest transfer rumors.
The midfielder of Turkish origin did not confirm a deal being in place, instead, he said yet he ‘really’ does not know what is currently going on.
The 24-year-old responded to a question regarding whether he will join Juventus: “I really do not know anything at the moment. Right now I am completely focused on Liverpool.”

Can has kept his place in the first-team despite reports that he will leave this summer.
The central midfield will be a free agent at the end of the season unless he signs an extension.
Despite being repeatedly linked with an Anfield exit in the Italian press, Can has yet to make a definitive statement regarding his future.
Can has been vague when responding to questions regarding where he will be playing beyond the end of the season, keeping his options open.
The Liverpool star is expected to feature for the Reds against Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
