However, despite various reports suggesting a deal was getting close, little progress appears to have been made.

And Gazzetta dello Sport report  fed up Juventus have given him a week's deadline to complete the move.

Jurgen Klopp will not want to lose Can due to his age and versatility, but the former Bayer Leverkusen man appears to have made his mind up to leave.

Bayern Munich, who are always interested in signing top German talents, will be keeping an eye on proceedings — as are Manchester City.
