# Juventus make €25m bid for Emre Can

Yet to put pen-to-paper on a new contract at Anfield, speculation continues to grow surrounding the future of midfielder Emre Can.

The former Bayern Munich midfielder had a great end to the 2016/17 campaign for Liverpool and will look to build on that in the coming season, but with his contract set to expire next summer, Liverpool are in a tricky situation.

Liverpool risk losing him on a free transfer next summer if he doesn’t agree terms to a new contract, or they could cash-in on him before the transfer window closes and look to replace the German.

The club’s priority is to sign him to a new contract but clubs are looking to sign him, namely Serie A champions Juventus, who have offered €25m to sign him this summer, according to [Wednesday’s edition of Corriere dello Sport](https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2017/08/09-28993796/calciomercato_juventus_emre_can_per_il_centrocampo/).

[La Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/06-08-2017/juve-tante-idee-ma-caro-prezzo-chi-spuntera-210817421117.shtml) claim that the 23-year-old has moved ahead of the likes of Blaise Matuidi and Steven N’Zonzi on the club’s midfield wishlist, but their bid still falls short of Liverpool’s alleged €30m valuation of Can.

Eager not to lose any first-team players this summer, Liverpool are in a race against the clock to sort out a new contract for Can or risk seeing him leave for Juventus,
