Marotta: ‘Can? We’ll see…’

By Football Italia staff

Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta calls Liverpool’s Emre Can “one of the most desirable players” - “if he decides to come to Turin we’ll be happy”.

The midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season, and has been heavily linked with a move to the Bianconeri.

However, there has so far been no announcement of a pre-contract deal, leading to speculation he could join another club.

“Emre Can is one of the most desirable players, for his ability and also because, as you know, he’ll be a free agent in June,” Marotta confirmed after receiving an award at the Sportivo Piemontese dell’Anno.

“It’s normal that situation has attracted a number of suitors for him as a player, we’re doing and we have done our path.

“We know there are other clubs competing for him and these clubs are definitely among the best in the world, the fact remains that, as I always say, a player’s destiny is in his head.

“So if he decides to come to Turin with Juventus we’ll be happy, and if he decides to join another team then we’ll exploit another opportunity.”

Another player who has been linked with the Old Lady is Matteo Darmian…

“He’s a Manchester United player right now, and he represents a player who doesn’t belong to us, but I can say that he’s a good and interesting player.”
