Liverpool confident Juventus target Emre Can will pen new terms

Liverpool are hopeful of securing Emre Can to a new contract.

The Daily Mail says the Germany international is ready to commit his future to Liverpool when he returns from an extended break following his involvement in the Confederations Cup.

Can, who has been on holiday in Los Angeles and Bodrum, Turkey, has just 12 months remaining on his current deal but is close to agreeing terms despite interest from Juventus.

They do not want to lose 23-year-old Can though who can cover a number of positions.

However, they are pushing to sign Red Bull Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita for around £65 million after having a £57m offer rejected and anticipate Lucas Leiva will join Lazio for around £5m on Monday.
