Juventus 'to complete Emre Can transfer this week'

Juventus will seal the signing of Liverpool midfielder Emre Can on a free transfer by the end of the week, according to a report.

The Reds have long been resigned to losing the Germany international, who has allowed his contract to expire at Anfield.

Can has been free to speak to clubs since January, with Bayern Munich and Manchester City also rumoured to have made contact.

Juve appear to have won the race as, after weeks of discussions, Sky Sport Italia suggests that an announcement could be made in the next few days.

Liverpool have already moved to replace Can, a late substitute in last weekend's Champions League final loss to Real Madrid, by recruiting Fabinho from Monaco.

Bayern academy product Can made 37 appearances overall for Liverpool in 2017-18, scoring seven times.
