Can has proven to be a vital player for Jurgen Klopp’s side this season, with the German’s performance’s going a long way to helping the Reds reach the Champions League final.

In 37 appearances in all competitions this season, the 24-year-old has managed to clock up a total of six goals and five assists, a decent record considering the vast majority of Liverpool’s goals come courtesy of their front three.

The former Leverkusen star’s ability to link up with fellow midfielders Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been a big reason as to why Liverpool have been so impressive this campaign.

If Barcelona do sign Can ahead of Real Madrid, it’ll be interesting to see who Liverpool go for to replace the void that is to be left by the German.
