Borussia Dortmund are prepared to sell Emre Can with head coach Edin Terzic reportedly frustrated with the attitude of the former Liverpool midfielder.
Can, 28, has played 83 times for the German club since joining in a £22.5m move from Juventus in 2020.
But the Germany international could soon be on his way out of the Signal Iduna Park, according to BILD.

It is claimed Dortmund are ready to sell Can if they receive a suitable offer for him this summer, with his performances on the pitch not enough to justify his irritating behaviour off of it.
Crucially, Dortmund's sporting director Sebastian Kehl is said to share the same opinion as the Dortmund head coach.
The report claims that Can regularly lectures and irritates his teammates, and was also guilty of interrupting former manager Marco Rose while he was conducting a team talk last season.
Can, who is on a £8.5m-per-year salary at Dortmund, has also struggled for fitness throughout his time at the club.
Last season, he missed 17 competitive matches due to persistent muscle injuries.
He has continued to struggle with the same problems in pre-season ahead of the new campaign.
Can is under contract with Dortmund until 2024 and it could prove difficult to find a buyer for the midfielder due to his high wage demands.
But if he does leave Dortmund this summer, it would not be the first time that Can has exited a club in acrimonious circumstances.
In 2018, he left Liverpool to join Juventus on a free transfer after running down his contract at Anfield.
In total, he scored an underwhelming 14 goals in 167 games for the Reds and has only managed another 13 goals since then in his spells with Juve and Dortmund.
