deal done: emre can to be announce by juventus

Emre Can will be announced as a Juventus player on Thursday after undergoing a medical in Turin this week, thus ending a drawn-out saga.

The world’s worst kept secret is almost “out the bag” as Juventus are set to announce Emre Can as having joined the Calcio A outfit.

For over a year, it has been certain that he wouldn’t be signing a contract extension to keep him at Anfield, with Jürgen Klopp reluctant to offer him guarantees over his game time as a no.6. for liverpool.
The Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp sees the 24-year-old as more of a box-to-box midfielder than as a holding midfielder.
Emre Can is not leaving to earn more money but rather to play in a role that he enjoys more.

Liverpool have already signed Fabinho from AS Monaco for a fee believed to be in the region of £43.7million.

The Brazilian is a complete defensive midfielder and symbolise a significant upgrade on Emre Can in the middle of the park.

I don’t think Emre Can’s presence within the squad will be missed, just as Philippe Coutinho’s departure wasn’t, but it is poor from Liverpool to have allowed the former Bayern Munich man to run down his contract.
