Juventus reportedly maintain an interest in signing Liverpool midfielder Emre Can, who only has a year remaining on his existing deal at Anfield.

Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has reportedly remained a summer transfer target for Juventus.

Can is regarded as a key man in the centre of Liverpool's midfield, but he only has one year remaining on his contract at Anfield.

That has led to Juventus identifying the German international as a possible signing this summer, and according to Gazzetta dello Sport, they have no intention of ending their interest in the 23-year-old.

It has been claimed that Liverpool are currently demanding a sizeable transfer fee for Can in the hope of forcing Juventus to look elsewhere, but Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri allegedly remains keen on adding him to their ranks.

Can has contributed eight goals from 129 appearances in all competitions since moving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2014.

Juventus are well stocked in central midfield, but they could potentially help fund a move for Can by selling Mario Lemina, who is said to be a target for Arsenal.
