Manchester City have emerged as contenders for the signature of Liverpool midfielder Emre Can.

The Germany international is out of contract at the end of the season, leading to much speculation about his future.

He’s been persistently linked with a move to Juventus, with the 24-year-old permitted to hold talks with foreign clubs this month.

If he decides to leave Anfield at the end of the season, Manchester City could now be an option.

The Daily Mirror report that the current Premier League table-toppers have expressed an interest.

Can recently addressed speculation over his future, insisting that he has made no decision yet on where he wants to be playing.

‘My agent is looking after everything but I am here until the summer,’ said Can.

‘I haven’t signed anything [with Juventus] or anyone. I am talking with everyone. Of course I am talking with Liverpool. Why not? I still have a contract here. It is an amazing club.

‘What can I say? My agent does the rest. I just concentrate on the scene, on my performance and the football. I will give everything for this team.’
