We don’t know when these contacts form both Bayern Munich and Manchester City took place. They could have been before Juve reportedly turned up the heat on their pursuit of Can, they could have been around the same time or they could have been after the report about the German midfielder picking Juventus last week.
The chronological order of events is probably something on those associated with the clubs and Can’s camp only really know about.
But if it’s true that Can will pick Juventus over two of the biggest clubs in the world going right now, then I guess we have to feel pretty good about his commitment to a club that he hasn’t even signed with yet.
I mean, as long as it doesn’t end up being an Axel Witsel 2.0 kind of situation where money ends up derailing a talented midfielder coming to Turin on a free transfer, then I think we’re all going to be okay with this.
