Juventus will test Liverpool’s resolve on Emre Can with a £22 million bid.
Can’s long-term future remains unresolved as the midfielder prepares to return for pre-season training with the Reds at the end of this month.
Talks over extending the Germany international’s stay at Anfield beyond the final 12 months of his existing contract have continued to wage on in recent months.
Jurgen Klopp is eager to resolve talks with Can but both parties remain at an impasse, which has afforded Juventus fresh hope of landing the player.
The Serie A champions believe that they can prise the 23-year-old away from Merseyside for a cut-price fee and are plotting to test Liverpool’s resilience.
Tuttosport claim that Juve are preparing to link Can with international team mate Sami Khedira at the heart of their midfield.
Can scored five goals last season and created two assists in 32 Premier League appearances during the 2016/17 campaign.
