Juventus are confident that they have done enough to capture the signature of Liverpool midfielder Emre Can.
The 23-year-old German international is out of contract at the end of the season and can sign a pre-contract agreement with the Italians on January 1st and join them on a free in the summer.
Juventus’ director of football, Fabio Paratici, has held talks in London with the player’s representatives and he is confident that Can will eventually ink a deal with them following months of speculation.

There are suggestions that Juventus will offer Liverpool a fee of around £5million over the coming weeks in the hope of wrapping things up sooner. However, Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp would prefer to retain him and he hasn’t publicly given up on the idea of the German still agreeing terms.
Although Juventus appear willing to offer a small fee, they don’t think Liverpool will do business despite the possibility of losing the player for nothing in the summer.
Can himself has not ruled out signing a new contract and he continues to insist that his refusal to extend his stay isn’t because of money.
