Liverpool are heavily linked with a move for Leon Goretzka.
Emre Can has been undoubtedly one of the top performers for Liverpool this season. The German international has stepped up in his central midfield role, but doubts remain on his Anfield future.
The 24-year-old will be a free agent in the summer, and he is yet to sign a contract extension with the Reds.
Juventus and Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Can, but according to reports from the Mirror (printed edition – 19/01/2018; page 60) the midfielder’s future depends on Liverpool’s pursuit of his international teammate
Can would be interested in a return to Bayern Munich, where his career started. But a potential move to Bayern will only happen if Liverpool manage to sign the Schalke midfielder.
The Reds have been in tug of war with Bayern over the signing of 22-year-old midfielder, who will also be a free agent in the summer.
Bayern are leading the race for Goretzka at the moment, but if he chooses Liverpool then it would pave the way for Can to return to Germany.
