Emre can

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he is “100 percent sure” about keeping Emre Can but admits the Juventus target has yet to agree a new contract.

Can is reportedly among Juve’s top targets to reinforce their midfield, and while Klopp was confident that the German would commit to Liverpool, the situation was nonetheless “not perfect”.

“So far there is no signing and that is the situation,” he was quoted as saying by ESPN.

“Do I think it is too cool that we didn’t fix it so far? No, to be honest, but it is all OK at the moment and we have to take it like this.

“His mind is not elsewhere. It is an important contract for him at his age. I am 100 percent sure that we don’t sell the player now in this situation. Not a player from the first-team line-up for sure.

“He will play here for the next year that is for sure. All the rest we have to see.

“In Germany these kind of pressures come up one year before the contract ends. In England it is two years before.

“Last year there was no real readiness for negotiations but this year we have talked. It’s clear we want him and he also wants to stay. It is about a few little details.

“It's not about having to make a decision about bringing in another player in the same position, the same size, the same skills.

“Emre is on a good way. He has really improved in a lot of parts and is a really important player for us. He can play different positions.

“The situation is not perfect, I would prefer that he has already signed, but I am still positive we can find the right solution for both sides.”
