da dobrowin： Liverpool midfielder Emre Can is on the verge of signing a new four-year contract at Anfield, according to Tuttomercato.
What’s the latest?
da dobrowin： There were questions over the German international’s long-term future during last season as talks over a new deal seemed to drag on.
Can’s current contract expires at the end of the upcoming campaign, suggesting that he could be sold this summer rather than allowed to leave for free in 12 months’ time.
It appears, though, as far as Tuttomercato are concerned, that the 23-year-old intends to reject interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus in order to commit his future to Anfield.
The media outlet also states that Can will be handed a bump in wages, taking him to £100,000 per week.
Is Can worth the wage packet?
We are all well aware of the vast wealth in football, and the transfer fees and wages cannot be justifiable in the wider world.
In this case, £100,000 per week for a 23-year-old is a huge amount of money, but in this day and age, first-team stars demand such a figure.
Can has struggled for consistence during his Liverpool career, but he showed in the closing stages of the season, that he can be an important part of the team.
If manager Jurgen Klopp is keen for the midfielder to sign a new deal, then Can is clearly in his plans for the future.
While this is good news for Liverpool fans, they may start getting impatient if new faces are not brought in swiftly.
Manchester United and Manchester City have already begun their business, and the disappointment of the Virgil van Dijk saga will only make the supporters more eager for new signings.
