- Liverpool midfielder has reportedly agreed to join Juventus at the end of the season

- Top Italian agent and friend of Antonio Conte, Federico Pastorello confirmed the switch

- The German international's contract at Anfield will expire at the end of the 207/18 season

Federico Pastorello, a top Italian agent, claims Liverpool midfielder Emre Can have agreed to join Juventus at the end of the season.

Patstorello, who is good friends with Chelsea’s boss, Antonio Conte has stated the German will join the Italian Champions on a free transfer when his contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season.

Liverpool are desperate to keep the 24-year-old but the German international has rebuffed talks over a new deal at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp has handed Can the captaincy on various occasions in the hope that his recognition as a senior player will coax him into staying.

However, it appears that Juventus have succeeded in their pursuit of the former Bayern Leverkusen ace as the Turin outfit have an impressive track record of signing established stars for low prices or even nothing at all.

Pastorello believes Bianconeri chiefs have pulled off a sensational move, saying:

“Can is a huge coup, even more so because he’ll arrive on a free transfer.

“Marotta and Paratici have done very well. Juven are a club that attract champions, and important signals are coming from the German.”

Meanwhile, Liverpool already have a new midfielder arriving this summer in the form of RB Leipzig’s Naby Keita and bought Virgil van Dijk for a club-record fee in January.

The Reds also parted ways with Philippe Coutinho and may need to spend big on reinforcements at the end of the season.
