Emre Can Juve’s top priority

Emre Can is top of the list for the Juventus midfield this summer and reports suggest they will continue their pursuit of the player who is yet to sign a contract renewal at Liverpool.

The Bianconeri are leaving it late to sign a few more vital players for the squad, most notably a central midfielder, despite having being linked with Steven N’Zonzi and Blaise Matuidi for almost two months.

Despite having a shortlist, Gazzetta dello Sport, report that Emre Can is still top of Juve’s priorities given Fabio Paratici’s fondness for the player who he reportedly scouted on a number of occasions.

Gazzetta claim Can is yet to sign a new contracts with Liverpool and his existing contract is due to expire next summer.

Juventus are offering €25m however Liverpool value the player at closer to €30m, meaning Matuidi, N’Zonzi and Kevin Strootman remain on the shortlist as alternatives for now.
