# PSG shortlist Emre Can as a possible summer buy

Emre Can’s future remains uncertain, to say the least.

The former Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder arguably enjoyed his best stretch of games for Liverpool during the second half of last season, highlighted by the spectacular winner against Watford which helped Liverpool on their way to securing a spot in next season’s Champions League.

As the players return for pre-season, it could be argued that Can still doesn’t know where he stands at the club. With his contract due to expire next summer, the club risk losing him for nothing unless they can tie him down to a new long-term contract.

That being said, Liverpool will not be held to ransom by Can’s wage demands and may even cash-in on him this summer, and the list of potential suitors continues to grow.

While [Juventus have been tracking Can](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/08-07-2017/juve-douglas-costa-sempre-piu-vicino-prestito-poi-riscatto-210158300326.shtml) for a while, [PSG have now entered the race](https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/2017/07/09-27672509/juventus_dopo_douglas_costa_ecco_matuidi/) for the Germany international.

It’s believed that PSG will look to sign Can if Blaise Matuidi leaves the club, with the Frenchman also wanted by Juventus. The Ligue 1 giants have also been chasing Philippe Coutinho as well this summer.

Liverpool will demand a big fee for the versatile midfielder, but the priority remains agreeing to terms for a contract extension.
