The exclusion from the Champions League squad caught Emre Can by surprise. The former Liverpool midfielder was visibly upset while discussing Juventus’ decision from the German National team’s retreat, this is what he told SportBild:”Not being on the list was shocking because they had promised me I would be last week. Had I known I would have acted accordingly and I wouldn’t have stayed at Juventus, because being part of the Champions League list was my main condition. Juve called me yesterday for less than a minute to say I wasn’t on the list. When I return I’ll talk to the club and my agent”
Juventus had contacted the agents for the players in danger of not making the list a few days ago so they wouldn’t be surprised. After that Sarri called the players to communicate the final decision.
