Juventus' chief executive has ruled out a January move for Emre Can after failing to sign the Liverpool midfielder during the summer.

Beppe Marotta doesn't believe Liverpool will allow Can to leave mid-season, despite the German international's contract expiring at the end of the season.

"We don't think we are going to make a big signing in January," Marotta told Premium Sport.

"Our team is absolutely competitive and we have some very interesting midfielders like [Rodrigo] Bentancur who has already showed his qualities.

"We have faith in this team and in these lads. As for Emre Can I don't think Liverpool will sell him in January.

"We made an offer for him in the summer but the Reds didn't sell him so I don't think they'll change their mind in the middle of the season."
