LIVERPOOL MIDFIELDER EMRE Can has hit out at what he describes as “false stories” relating to his reported wage demands.
The Germany international has been heavily linked with clubs including Manchester City, Juventus and Bayern Munich, with his contract due to expire at the end of the season.
Reports in England have claimed Liverpool will have to offer Can £200,000 a week to convince him to stay at Anfield, and the 24-year-old says he is tired of such speculation.
“I’ve just returned from international duty with the German team and working on coming back from injury,” he wrote on Instagram. “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.”
Can has made 26 Premier League appearances this season, scoring three goals for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
He was released from the Germany squad after missing last Friday’s friendly draw with Spain due to a back problem.
Attitude
@Al Byrne: said for the likes of Stokes in the past past , Parrott recently and now this lad
@Al Byrne: bull
He doesn’t really do it for me. He shows maybe 10 minutes of potential and then goes missing.
Plus his attitude and behaviour off the pitch is dreadful. He seems happier to be around Z list celebs than focusing on a future in football.
@Madra: I’ve been watching him play since he was in the 21s and his work-rate and attitude are very good.
He runs channels all day, makes space for his attacking teammates and is a nitemare for full-backs.
Maybe the big PL contact came too early but he’ll come good for us, I’m sure of it.
Some of the comments aimed at him are nothing more than petty begrudgery, the same type we’ve seen aimed at young Irish high-achievers forever. These same hurlers-from-the-ditch have never achieved anything but are happy to cast down one of our own for showing something different.
His Barnet is cat too
@Liam De Oráiste: speak for yourself
Has been known to cause a bit of trouble and not really showing a head for the game
Connolly is a significant absence,but does anyone know why SK isn’t too keen on Scott hogan?
@Pauly Kel: I’d have Obafemi & Hogan instead of Collins & Keane.
Stephen Kenny has got this very wrong.I would rather connolly then Horgan in the team.kenny will live to regret it
@Mick Dunne: I bet you he won’t.
Let’s face it …Kenny is lost in the wilderness.. and as for the Irish squad…those who were picked ..and those who were not….None of them would be guaranteed a start in a under 16 girls team
Who’s Aaron Connolly???
Is Collins playing regularly
I think it was the Portugal game , he was awful, worst player on the pitch.
