Reports in Italy claim there are two factors are stopping Liverpool star Emre Can’s proposed move to Juventus.
Liverpool midfield star Can has been linked with a free transfer move to the Italian giants with his contract expiring come the summer.
The German international was free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with other clubs when his deal entered the final six months back in January.
But as yet there has been no official announcement from the Reds star who remains coy when questioned on the subject.
The saga continues to rumble on with claim and counter claim over where Can will end up, with some reports suggesting he may yet remain with Jurgen Klopp at Anfield given the team’s drastic improvement this season.
And now a report from Italian outlet Tuttosport claims there are two key factors stopping a resolution to the Can transfer saga.
According to Tuttosport there IS an agreement in place between Can and Juventus but the midfielder wants to make a final decision at the end of the season as he wants to remain focused on Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League campaigns as well as securing a place in Germany’s Russia World Cup squad.
The other factor delaying the deal is reported to be the fact Juventus are yet to agree on a commission fee with Can’s agent.
Juventus face a battle to retain their throne as Serie A champions under pressure from Napoli and the Turin club’s main concern is that the 24-year-old is holding out to see what other offers he can get between now and then.
Liverpool have central midfielder Naby Keita coming in this summer, a deal which may well be a catalyst for Can’s decision if he feels it will restrict his playing time.
