Emre Can has paid tribute to Liverpool and their fans after agreeing to join Juventus.

Can has called time on his four-year stint with the Reds, in which he made 167 appearances, to sign a four-year contract with the Bianconeri after passing a medical on Thursday.

"Today is the first day of a new chapter of my life," Can said on his Instagram account.

"I want to say thank you to all the people of Liverpool, to my coaches, to the staff, to the staff behind the staff, the supporters, to everyone.

"I will always think back with a smile and one piece of my heart will always be in Liverpool.

"It was a big honour for me to play for Liverpool. I hope to see you one day again. Take care. Yours Emre."
