Juventus are still hopeful of landing Emre Can as his Liverpool future remains unresolved.
The midfielder’s current contract at Anfield is set to expire next summer but is no closer to agreeing an extension ahead of his return for pre-season training.
Can reportedly rejected the Reds’ previous offer of £100,000 per week, raising further concerns over his long-term future with the club.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juve are preparing to exploit the Germany international’s predicament despite Liverpool’s £30 million asking price.
Jurgen Klopp will welcome Can back into the fold later this month as he recovers from his country’s exploits in winning the Confederations Cup.
Anfield officials remain hopeful of concluding a deal for the 23-year-old, who scored seven goals last season, ahead of the forthcoming 2017/18 campaign.
Can’s winning strike against Watford at the start of May was crowned the Premier League’s Goal of the Season.
