Emre Can of Borussia Dortmund was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany on 12 January 1994 (age 30)

Born on 12 January 1994 in Germany, Emre Can is a 30-year-old footballer who primarily plays as a central defensive midfielder for Borussia Dortmund. Can is of considerable stature, standing at a height of 6 feet (1.84 metres) and weighing in at around 12 stone 12lb (82kg). His squad number for Dortmund is 23. He has also represented the Germany national team.

As of now, Can's market value is approximately £8.5m according to Transfermarkt. His contract with Borussia Dortmund is set to run for another 1 year and 9 months, reaching its conclusion on 30 June 2026.

Can began his football career at Bayern Munich in July 2009 as a trainee. During the season of 2012 - 2013, he made four first team appearances in league matches for Bayern.

Can made his first major move in August 2013, transferring to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga for a fee of around £4m. In his debut season 2013 - 2014 at Bayer Leverkusen, Can made 29 first team appearances and scored three goals in league matches.

In July 2014, he was on the move again, this time making a significant leap to Liverpool in the Premier League in England for a fee of around £10m. There, he made considerable contributions across multiple seasons, including 27 appearances and one goal in the 2014 - 2015 season, and a subsequent career high of 32 appearances and five goals in the 2016 - 2017 season.

Emre Can left Liverpool in July 2018, transferring to Juventus in Serie A in Italy, where he made a successful debut with 29 first team appearances and scoring four goals in the 2018 - 2019 season. However, his time at Juventus was brief, and by January 2020, Can had transferred on loan to Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga in Germany.

Can has been a fixture with Borussia Dortmund since, initially impressing with 12 first team appearances and two goals in his loan period during the 2019 - 2020 season. He officially transferred from Juventus to Dortmund in July 2020 for a fee of around £23m, and has since continued to serve assertively on the pitch. The 2021 - 2022 season saw Can make 24 first team appearances and score five goals, his most productive season to date with Dortmund. Currently in the 2024 - 2025 season, Can has made six first team appearances and scored two goals.

His contribution notably extends beyond club football, as Can played for Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League 2023 - 2024 with 11 starts, and played for Germany in the Euro 2024, scoring one goal in one start and three appearances as a substitute. He also made an appearance as a substitute in the Nations League 2024 - 2025 for Germany and scored a goal in the first two starts of the Champions League 2024 - 2025 for Borussia Dortmund.
