Transfer talks on hold as Liverpool slap huge price-tag on Juve target

Juventus are long time targets of Liverpool star Emre Can. The Germany International has less than one year left in his contract with the Premier League giants and according to our transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano, Klopp is determined to keep his compatriot at the Anfield Road.

Liverpool are soon going to offer Emre Can a contract extension as they don’t want the German to leave as a free agent at the end of the season. With the Old Lady who, however, wants to sign the player this summer, Liverpool have told the Serie A giants that they’ll have to pay € 35 million to welcome the player’s services.

​Juventus are extremely interested in signing the 23-year-old but are not open to match Liverpool’s asking price.

The bianconeri are aware that the contract of Can expires in 11 months and are not going to spend crazy money for a player with an expiring contract.

The strategy of the Old Lady is the same they will use with Lazio star’s Keita Balde. The Senegalese winger will see his contract expire in 2018 and Juventus would rather sign him as a free agent next summer than take him for more than € 30 million now.
