We’re not entirely sure they’re not being used for window dressing and drama, but Arsenal and Tottenham continue to be linked with Emre Can.
Borussia Dortmund are trying to sign the midfielder from Juventus, however, they’ve hit a bump in the road.
Bild reports BVB are looking at a loan deal with a mandatory purchase option in the summer, standing at a figure up to €25m.
Can would then sign a four year contract with the Bundesliga club.
It’s wages which are the issue. Given he moved from Liverpool as a free agent, Can is currently paid €16m a season by Juventus. Dortmund only want to offer €8.5m, a significant pay cut for the player.
Germany’s Sport1 reports the transfer is ‘shaking’, and that other clubs remain in the picture. Those clubs are named as Tottenham, Arsenal and PSG, and Can is thought to have ‘lucrative offers’ from them.
There’s also an unnamed Spanish club keen.
