Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira has denied reports that he believes Liverpool’s Emre Can will be joining the Bianconeri in the summer.
A report in Sports Illustrated on Wednesday said that the 31 year old told a source that the Reds central midfield player would be moving to Turin once his contract expired at Anfield.
Yesterday, Khedira took to Twitter to deny the story, stating he has no idea where his German team mate will be playing next season:
A Sports Illustrated source heard me confirm Emre Can is coming to @juventusfc this summer. Only one possible explanation: I am having a secret twin brother ??? I don't know what Emre will do next season … #shoutouttomymum #fakenews https://t.co/AnMyf4Ho9I pic.twitter.com/oBJ8vOg1kx

Can is currently sidelined with a back problem. A report in the Mirror had suggested the 24 year old was out for the rest of the season, and he could have played his last game for the club.
However, the Liverpool Echo say the Reds have played down the seriousness of the midfielder’s injury, and that he could return to action within the next couple of weeks.
It does mean the player won’t be back in time to face Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League quarter final on Tuesday night, leaving manager Jurgen Klopp with a selection headache with captain Jordan Henderson already suspended for the match.
