Jurgen Klopp believes Emre Can's outstanding form shows that the uncertainty over his future hasn't affected the Liverpool midfielder.

The Germany international is out of contract this summer and could leave as a free agent with Juventus leading the chase for his signature.

Klopp, who still retains hope that Can will sign a new deal, has continued to pick the 24-year-old and says his performances show that his commitment hasn't wavered.

Can produced one of his finest displays for the club in the thrilling victory over Manchester City and his manager is hoping for more of the same at Swansea City on Monday night.

"Emre is here in the moment and that is the most important thing,” Klopp said.

“We have to create a situation where players want to stay – that's all we can do as a club, as a team and me as a manager.

“For me, there is no problem if Emre plays like he is in the moment.

“Especially with the injury of Hendo (Jordan Henderson), he's been playing pretty much all the time which is really difficult.

“For 60, 70 minutes he was outstanding against City. Important and impressive and stuff like that. We will see what happens. He didn’t sign a new contract for us yet otherwise we would have informed you.”

The major stumbling block during discussions over the past 18 months has been Can's desire for a release clause.

It would be a gamble if he opted to walk away from Liverpool considering how much he has developed from working with Klopp.

With the Reds resurgent on the field, Can playing every week and being offered a hefty pay rise, why would he want to move on?

“Look, I don’t know,” Klopp added.

“There are other places with football clubs as well. We cannot ignore that.

“In this era, maybe they are not all one team players. By the way, you only want the good players to be that. If someone not so good stays at one club all his life you say: 'Why are you still here?'

“Let me say it like this, we have to make it as difficult as possible for them to want to leave here.

“That can and probably will still happen in the future. It is not a big problem, but we can’t let it happen too often.”
