No problem with Can contract talks

Last updated : 18 February 2023 By LFC Online

Jurgen Klopp has denied there is an issue with Emre Can's new contract negotiations.

There has been speculation that the German midfielder may be allowed to leave in the summer after an inconsistent season, but his crucial goal against Burnley has shown encouraging signs that if played in the correct position he can prove to be a vital asset in Klopp's arsenal next season.

“It makes no sense to talk about it, but I will because I heard that there was a story out there over the week,” said the Liverpool boss.

“Yes, we are in talks. What can I say? They are good. Emre likes to be here.

“We really like him as a person and as a player. There are talks. There’s nothing else to say about it.

 

“His final year doesn’t start for another few months. There are no problems. Absolutely no problems at this moment.

“We are having good talks with a lot of other players. If there’s something to say, we’ll be the first to let you know.”
