Hope for Liverpool as Can denies Juventus deal

Sarah Winterburn

Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has denied that he has signed a pre-contract agreement with Juventus and insists he could still stay on Merseyside.

Can had one of his better games in recent months against Manchester City on Sunday and it helped allay fears speculation over his future would affect his performance.

The 24-year-old is out of contract in the summer and is now able to sign a pre-agreement with a foreign club, with Juventus heavily linked with a move over the last few months.

However, it seems the German is prepared to wait until the end of the season to decide his future.

“My agent is looking after everything but I am here until the summer. I haven’t signed anything (with Juventus) or anyone.

“I am talking with everyone, of course I am talking with Liverpool. Why not? I still have a contract here. It is an amazing club. What can I say? My agent does the rest.

“I just concentrate on my performance and the football. I will give everything for this team.”
