Liverpool midfielder Emre Can hits back at "false stories" over his future

Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has hit back at reports surrounding his future at Anfield.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside outfit as his current contract expires at the end of the season.

As it stands, Can, who has been touted as a target for Serie A giants Juventus, has not agreed fresh terms with Liverpool.

Last week, quotes that were attributed to the midfielder emerged suggesting that he is ready to play for a "big club" next season.

After pulling out of the Germany squad with a back problem, Can took to Instagram, writing: "I've just returned from international duty with the German team and working on coming back from injury.

"Interesting stories about me in the press! I'm no longer going to comment on any false stories or rumours! Looking forward to getting back on the pitch asap. EC."

It is unclear whether Can will be fit for this weekend's Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
