Juventus said Dortmund will pay one million euros ($1.11 million) for the loan deal until the end of the season before being obliged to purchase the player in a deal which could rise as high as 25 million euros.
"I think the team has great potential and can win something," said Can, who began his career with Bayern Munich before moving to Bayer Leverkusen and then Liverpool in 2014.
I want to say thank you to everyone at Juventus for their support. To my teammates, the staff and everybody behind the scenes. It was an honour to represent this great club and I will carry the memories in my heart. Grazie Mille. Forza Juve. pic.twitter.com/oJWkxFhB55
