Juventus expect to sign Can, confirms Marotta

Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta hopes to conclude the signing of Liverpool's Emre Can after the Champions League final.

The Germany international has long been linked with the Serie A champions, having failed to agree terms on a new contract at Anfield.

Reports in Italy last month claimed Can is ready to sign a five-year deal with Massimiliano Allegri's side, despite some late interest from Bayern Munich.

"We are optimistic about a positive end to negotiations with Emre Can," he told Mediaset Premium before Saturday's Serie A clash with Verona.

"We hope to announce his signing after the Champions League final."

Speaking at the time, manager Jurgen Klopp insisted the situation "is open" and that he was not resigned to losing Can on a free transfer.

"As long as nothing is decided it's open, we're in talks with him, all good so far, apart from he hasn't signed," he said. "That's all. Okay, no problem with that."
