Top pay rise? No Can do
LIVERPOOL will have to pay Emre Can more than £200,000 a week if they want him to stay.
The Germany international, who is out of contract at the end of June, is looking for a new deal that would make him the highest-paid player at Anfield.
Liverpool’s owners are unlikely to meet the 24-year-old’s demands and there is a growing sense that the midfielder will be on his way at the end of the season.
Premier League leaders Manchester City and Italian giants Juventus are among his admirers.
The Reds have offered him a new deal, which the player has rejected, although further talks are expected with the club before his future is resolved.
Can angered Liverpool fans last week after giving an interview in Germany, saying: “My qualities are sufficient to play in a very big club next season.
“I do not want to exclude anything because I do not know what I will do from the summer.”
