Liverpool midfielder Emre Can may miss out on a move to Juventus after the Italian club shift their focus across the Premier League to an Arsenal star.
TalkSport are reporting that Liverpool man Emre Can may miss out on his expected move to Juventus this summer. The German international is available on a free transfer and is allowed to sign with a foreign side now. That he has yet to commit to Juventus has frustrated the Italian giants.
Now Juventus are turning their attentions to Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey. The Welshman is coming into his last year at the Emirates and Juve feel they can take advantage of the situation. They are hoping to get a cheap, quick sale from Arsenal much Liverpool did with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain last season.

It is likely that Emre Can will not see the field again for Liverpool this season. Though if the Reds make the Champions League final it is a possibility. Many thought we would never see him in a Liverpool shirt again.
If Juventus do indeed give up their pursuit of the midfield man then that increases the likelihood he signs the contract on the table at Anfield. Bayern Munich remain in the picture; there is not a good young German they aren’t interested in procuring.
The big worry for Liverpool fans is that he signs for a Premier League rival. That he has not announced a move abroad or signed a new deal for the Reds only increases the chances he will stay in England. Man City have been rumored to be interested but it is hard to see Can forcing his way into their first team. Perhaps Chelsea are a more realistic option for that worst case scenario for Liverpool fans.
