Jorginho, 26, holds a dual passport and has three Azzurri caps.

If it comes down to a straight fight between United, Arsenal and Liverpool, Klopp’s club will be favourites. Jorginho has noted the success of Brazilians Lucas, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino at Anfield.

German internatio­nal Can’s contract expires in June. He has rejected all offers of a new deal and a return to Bayern Munich is on the cards.

Liverpool have also been looking at Nice’s Jean Michael Seri and Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester as Can’s replacemen­t.
