Emre Can is heavily linked with a move away from Liverpool.
Steve Nicol has told ESPN that he fully expects Emre Can to leave Liverpool.
Juventus have been heavily linked with the 23-year-old midfielder, who has reached an impasse with Liverpool over contract negotiations.
Can is out of contract in the summer, meaning that the Reds must either sell in January or risk losing him for free when his deal expires.
The Germany international, according to Tuttosport, already has a “rough agreement” to join the Italian giants, and Liverpool legend Nicol is supremely confident that he will leave.
He told ESPN: “I don’t see how this doesn’t happen. He’s out of contract and all of the noises are that he’s on his way.
“With Keita coming in as well, he’s probably thinking ‘Am I going to play?’ so I think this is an absolute, bang-on, stonewaller.”
Can is a big, powerful midfielder who could’ve been a big asset to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, but it hasn’t worked over the past year or so.
It might be in his best interests to leave for Italy, but the Reds need to remember that Can – valued at £19.5 million according to Transfermarkt – is still only 23 and is likely going to get a lot better.
