The 26-year-old, who can play as a defender or defensive midfielder, will initially join on loan as cover for injured Danish player Thomas Delaney until the end of the season. However, the transfer will then become a permanent move, “provided that agreed parameters are met”, according to a statement on the Dortmund website. German daily Bild claim Can has taken a pay cut to join Dortmund, where he will earn 8.5 million euros per season, instead of 14 million at Juventus. Can has not held down a starting place at Juventus this season and did not feature in any of their Champions League matches. The 19-year-old striker cost 20 million euros from Salzburg at the start of the month and has made an immediate impact with five goals in his first two games.
