After yesterday’s terrible showing by Liverpool, and even worse showing by central midfielder Emre Can, Liverpool fans might be happy to hear this. According to reports out of Italy, Juventus are keen on signing the German midfielder.
Can, 23, has really failed to stamp his authority in the team this season. He has always showed glimpses of fine potential, but he’s frequently had problems with inconsistency and fitness that have slowed his progression.
Apparently, though, Juventus are still interested in his services. Can, who has been a little slow with that ball at his feet, could benefit more with a move to Serie A.
And for Liverpool, it’s looking more and more obvious that they need another answer in central midfield. It’s becoming an area that still hasn’t been right since Mascherano and Alonso left years ago.
If this move happens, expect it to be at Liverpool’s named price. And it will be done in the summer. There’s almost zero chance that this deal gets completed in January because Liverpool are just hanging on at the point and will need plenty of options.
