Emre Can set for medical at Borussia Dortmund - Concerns about salary cleared up
Everything is pointing towards Emre Can joining Borussia Dortmund from Juventus on the final day of the transfer window. But ahead of Friday negotiations have hit a roadblock according to a report published by Bild on Thursday night.
Update: Those concerns seem to have all but disappeared on Friday morning. According to various reports Emre Can is currently in Dortmund for his medical and final paperwork.

The German newspaper Bild reported that Dortmund have offered Can a salary of €8.5 million a season. Can's agent Reza Fazeli, however, wants at least €10 million, plus agent fees (usually around 10%).
A deal has to be completed before 6 p.m. German time. The Bild report, however, indicates that Can wants a move to the Bundesliga and Borussia Dortmund, in particular, to earn playing time ahead of the 2020 European Championships.
Dortmund, in the meantime, sold Paco Alcácer to Villarreal earlier today. According to a report by kicker and various Italian outlets, the Alcácer deal freed up the necessary funds for Dortmund to sign Can.
