Emre Can

The 24-year-old German midfielder continues to be linked with a move away from Anfield in the summer, as contract-renewal issues continue between him and Liverpool. With a possibility of the player leaving on a free transfer, Liverpool find themselves in a tough situation negotiating his new contract.

Can, however, is currently out nursing a back injury he sustained earlier in the year. He has not featured in the club's run-in to the Champions League final due to the injury and could miss out on the final.

Battling for fitness to be part of the final, Can's chances are slim and could have played his last game for the club before his summer move is finalised. While the club wants to keep the player for the future, his game time is not a guarantee and with the addition of Naby Keita, the competition for places will intensify.
