Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff is convinced Liverpool midfielder Emre Can is on his way to Serie A.

Off contract in June, Can is a confirmed target for Juventus.

Discussing Can and Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka, Bierhoff said: “In this time England is the top spot for those players and after the Premier there is also the Spanish league as an option.

“For sure both Emre Can and Goretzka could be successful in Serie A.

“Can is a number 6 and is physical, his way of playing is perfect for Italy.

“However, unless Inter Milan returns to the top of Italy, if one of these players had to choose Italy, he would only do it for Juventus."

Asked for the likelihood of a move to Italy for the pair, Bierhoff responded: “For Goretzka there is not much of a chance, perhaps not even 20%.

“Emre Can, I think he has a lot more, I would say 60-80%."
