Juventus midfielder Emre Can reportedly turns down a host of Europe's top clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal, in favour of a £22m move to Borussia Dortmund.

Juventus midfielder Emre Can has reportedly turned down a host of Europe's top clubs in favour of a January move to Borussia Dortmund.

The 26-year-old's future in Turin was thrown into doubt earlier this season when he was omitted from Juve's Champions League squad, and he has since made just eight Serie A appearances throughout the campaign.

Manager Maurizio Sarri is understood to be open to the prospect of the Germany international leaving the club, leading to interest from the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich.

However, Football Italia claims that Can has now agreed terms with Dortmund in a deal worth £22m.

The former Liverpool midfielder will reportedly take a pay cut in order to secure the move to the Westfalenstadion, which will see him return to the Bundesliga having previously played for Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

The structure of the deal has not been divulged, although it could be an initial loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the campaign.
