Juventus have rekindled their interest in Liverpool midfielder Emre Can as an alternative to Paris Saint-Germain’s Blaise Matuidi.
The Germany midfielder has been in talks with Liverpool over a new contract to replace his current deal, which expires next summer, but is yet to reach an agreement.
Juventus have been keeping an eye on the midfielder over the last few months, but it has been claimed that PSG’s Matuidi remains their top midfield target for the summer.
However, Juventus have been left frustrated in negotiations with PSG who are demanding €30m for a player whose contract expires at the end of next season.
The Italian champions are not prepared to shell out such a figure for a 30-year-old midfielder and according to Gazzetta dello Sport, they could turn their attention towards Liverpool’s Can.

While they are expected to continue to try to sign Matuidi, Juventus are prepared to look at other options and the Germany midfielder is in their sights this summer.
Still only 23, there are suggestions that Juventus could opt to invest in Can rather than pay big money to snare 30-year-old Matuidi away from PSG in the current transfer window.
