Juventus continue to chase Emre Can who reportedly refused renewal

It’s reported Juventus are intensifying their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Emre Can, who refused a renewal.

The Bianconeri are looking to bring in a defensive midfielder, with Blaise Matuidi and Steven N’Zonzi thought to be on their shortlist.

However, Can is believed to be their ideal target and this morning’s Gazzetta dello Sport says contact has intensified with Liverpool.

The newspaper reports that the German international has rejected a new contract at Anfield, with his current deal expiring at the end of the season.

The Reds are demanding €30m to even consider selling Can, while Juve’s offer is thought to be €25m.

For that reason, Matuidi, N’Zonzi and Strootman remain targets.
