Liverpool midfielder Emre Can says he is confident he can play for “a very big club” next season amid suggestions he will join Juventus on a free transfer.
The German has made 166 appearances for Liverpool since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2014, scoring 14 goals. NaijaBet.com
His contract expires this summer, meaning he is available to talk to foreign clubs about a potential free transfer at the end of the season.
“Sure, the Bundesliga would interest me, why not? Although I must say honestly that the level has waned in recent years,” he told German outlet Süddeutsche Zeitung, via the Liverpool Echo.
“The Premier League has the power to spend more money on players than the Bundesliga. This is very, very important for players.
Which league would best suit Can?
Can has only sporadically shown his best form during his time in England, which is perhaps why Liverpool haven’t tried harder to tie him down. NaijaBet.com
With that in mind, a move abroad might be the logical next step for the midfielder. His fine displays for Leverkusen are what first attracted Liverpool to him, so a return to the Bundesliga would make sense.
However, Bayern Munich are arguably the only club of a sufficient stature to match Can’s ambition.
There doesn’t appear to be interest from the Bundesliga champions, which may be why Can seems to have his heart set on Juventus.
It remains to be seen whether he will be a good fit for Serie A, but Juventus’ elite status could end up being a key factor in Can’s decision.
