Manchester City have become the latest club to join the race for Emre Can.
The Liverpool midfielder is currently in the final six months of his current contract and has yet to agree a long-term extension.
Can has refused to discount remaining at Anfield beyond this season but is able to negotiate a free transfer with non-English clubs under the Bosman ruling.
Juventus had appeared to be running unopposed until recently, with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund entering the battle for the German’s signature.
Can began his career with Bayern but their confirmed deal for Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka appears to have put paid to a return to the Bundesliga champions.
Interest has reportedly emerged from the Premier League with the Mirror claiming that both current leaders City and Arsenal are now in the hunt.
Pep Guardiola is searching for a long-term replacement for Fernandinho and the Germany international is said to be among the options he is considering.
Remaining in the English top flight is understood to be Can’s priority, giving both City and the Gunners a greater hope of tempting him away from Anfield.
