Liverpool star lays down demands as he considers U-turn

Liverpool star Emre Can is reportedly considering a U-turn in his decision not to sign a new contract to keep him at Anfield.

The German international has less the 12 months remaining on his current deal and is free to talk to other clubs in January about a possible summer switch.

Italian champions Juventus have been most seriously linked with a move for Can, but Manchester City have also been credited with interest.

However, The Sun now claim that the former Bayer Leverkusen star could yet sign a new deal with Liverpool, if he is offered £150k-a-week.

Jurgen Klopp is keen on keeping the 23-year-old at the club, but will have to stump up substantially more than expected to hold on to him.

Can has an impressive 11 goals and nine assists in 144 appearances for the Reds in all competitions since joining from the Bundesliga in 2014.

Earlier in the week, Juventus chief Beppe Marotta suggested the Serie A giants could move for both Can and Liverpool target Leon Goretzka.

“Can and Goretzka are two players with expiring contracts and I don’t hide the fact that we are following them both, like many other teams,” he said.
