Liverpool midfielder Emre Can is set to snub Juventus in favour of joining Manchester City.

According to The Daily Star, the Italian behemoths are resigned to losing out on Can as Pep Guardiola steps up his pursuit of the midfielder.

Can, who cost the Anfield club £10million from Bayer Leverkusen three years ago, has been a regular for Jurgen Klopp's side this season, making 15 appearances and scoring three goals.


Despite this, there has been no movement in talks about Can extending his stay at Liverpool.

Klopp said that he was hopeful of renewing his deal at the end of the season but admitted there was not much he could do if Can chooses to run his contract down. 

 'It's allowed that he could sign a contract with us in May,' the Kop boss said when speaking about Can's future earlier this month.

'I have no problem with that [but] we have to respect when a contract ends. If a contract ends there are two sides who could have done things differently.'
