Emre Can reacts to ongoing transfer speculation

Liverpool midfielder has reportedly hit back at reports linking him with a potential challenge elsewhere during this summer's transfer window.

The Germany international had just three months left on his current Reds deal, and this has intensified talk of him leaving Anfield on a free transfer.

Earlier last week, Can was quoted as saying that he is ready to play for a big club next season, but the 24-year-old has now appeared to stress that the story was fake.

He wrote on Instragram: "I've just returned from international duty with the German team and working on coming back from injury. Interesting stories about me in the press! I'm no longer going to comment on any false stories or rumours! Looking forward to getting back on the pitch asap. EC."

Can recently returned from international duty after failing to recover from a back problem, and he is now aiming to return to Reds action at the earliest possibility.

Juventus chief Beppe Marotta has publicly admitted that Can is one of their prime midfield options for the summer, but the German has remained tight-lipped on where his future may lie, if he declines a new Liverpool deal beyond the summer.
