Man City transfer news: Pep Guardiola’s side enter race to sign Liverpool in-demand midfielder this summer

The 24-year-old could end up leaving the Reds in the summer after failing to put pen-to-paper on a new deal. Can has entered the final four months of his contract which means he is allowed to hold talks with foreign clubs.

According to Tuttosport, Manchester City have set their sights on the combative midfielder.

Despite nearing the end of his contract, Can has remained as a key member of Jurgen Klopp’s starting eleven. Liverpool take on West Ham United in the Premier League this weekend as they look to extend their winning run.
