Juventus poised to make January move for Can

Juventus are readying a January move for Liverpool midfielder Emre Can, according to Corriere Dello Sport (via the Mirror).

Can is expected to leave in the summer for what would be a free transfer and so the Turin club are hoping to persuade Liverpool to sell in January to make at least some money.

Jurgen Klopp is keen to keep hold of Can as he sees him as an important player but contract talks between the club and the player appear to have reached a stalling point.

Can has drawn interest from a number of top European clubs including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and showed his versatility at the weekend, playing at centre-back in Liverpool’s 5-1 thumping of Brighton and Hove Albion.

Juventus are keen to make a move for Can to help them press their claim for another Serie A title, as they chase down league leaders Inter Milan, who they trail by two points heading towards the winter break.
