Emre Can flattered by Juventus, Bayern Munich interest

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 09 October 2017

Liverpool midfielder Emre Can says that he is flattered to have been linked with Juventus and Bayern Munich, but is "only focused" on his current club for now.

Emre Can has admitted that it is "an honour" to be linked with a move to Bayern Munich and Juventus, as uncertainty over his Liverpool future continues.

The Germany international has yet to agree fresh terms with the Reds on a new contract, meaning that he will become a free agent next summer as things stand.

Juve have made no secret of their admiration, with general director Beppe Marotta recently confirming that the Italian giants failed with a summer bid for the 23-year-old.

Can remains on Juve's radar ahead of next summer, while Bayern have also been tipped to make a bid, but the midfielder is currently focused on seeing out the campaign with Liverpool.

"It's always an honour to receive an offer from such a renowned club, but currently I am only focused on the season with Liverpool. My agent takes care of the rest," he told Kicker.

"The Premier League is just a really cool league, the most interesting in the world, but you must always respect other big clubs and leagues."

Can scored his first goal for the Germany senior side on Sunday evening, finding the back of the net from long range in the 5-1 win.
