The 24-year-old’s contract at Anfield expired at the end of the season and Jurgen Klopp was unable to negotiate a deal with him to keep him at the club, despite his best attempts.
Can has been linked with Juve for several months and the Serie A champions teed up his signing by posting a video on Twitter of the player being greeted by club officials at Turin Airport.
It was also accompanied by a picture with the caption "Emre Can has landed in Turin".
Liverpool and Can had been locked in talks since 2016 and it is understood his insistence on the inclusion of a buy-out clause in the deal is understood to be the sticking point.
Can arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2014 during Brendan Rodgers’ tenure following a £9.75m move from Bayer Leverkusen.
The Germany international has made 156 appearances for Liverpool in the years since and established himself as a key member of Klopp’s first team.
