Juventus will meet Emre Can’s representatives this week and won’t wait more than a week for the German to sign, reports Gazzetta dello Sport.
Can’s contract will expire at the end of the season and he has been strongly linked with a move to the Old Lady with a Liverpool renewal seeming unlikely.

The 21-year-old joined Madrid last summer but has been used sparingly, and Jurgen Klopp has asked the Liverpool board to sign the midfielder.
Chelsea are willing to sell Eden Hazard to Real Madrid if Casemiro is sent to London as part of the deal, according to Don Balon.
It wouldn’t be a straight swap, of course, with the report stating the Blues would also want €100 million in addition to the Brazilian central midfielder.
Napoli have placed a £57 million price tag on attacking midfielder Piotr Zielinski, according to Corriere dello Sport, via The Sun.
The 23-year-old has been a vital part of the Serie A leaders’ success this term, alerting several of Europe’s biggest sides including Liverpool.

Monaco manager Leonardo Jardim wants to take over at Arsenal next season if Arsene Wenger departs, according to Independent.

Hamburg want to increase Jann-Fiete Arp’s wages from €500,000 per year to €2 million in an effort to convince him to stay, according to the Hamburger Morgenpost.
The 18-year-old has attracted plenty of suitors across Europe, including Chelsea, and Hamburg know they must offer a new deal to maintain any hope of keeping the forward.
But HSV are also staring down the real possibility of relegation, which would almost certainly end Arp’s time at the club.
