When quizzed about Juve’s interest in Can prior to their Serie A game with Genoa, Marotta said: “Emre Can’s contract expires in 2018 but Liverpool won’t sell him this summer.
“I repeat Can is contracted with Liverpool.
“We know his contract expires but he is a player of Liverpool at the moment.”
Speaking earlier this month about Liverpool’s failure to get Can signed on a new deal, Jurgen Klopp admitted he was concerned.
“We are still in talks,” Klopp said.
“Do I think it is too cool that we didn’t fix it so far? No, to be honest.
“But it is all okay at the moment and we have to take it like this.
“He will play here for the next year that is for sure. All the rest we have to see.”
