Emre Can has no regrets amid talks of Bayern Munich return | OneFootball

In an interview with Sport1, Emre Can revealed that his choice to leave Bayern Munich was “the right decision.”

The Liverpool midfielder has been linked with the German club as he continues to run down his contract.

Can joined the Bayern academy in 2009, and graduated through the ranks until making his senior debut in 2012.

However, the German international made just seven appearances before he left for Bayer Leverkusen.

“Today you can see that it was the right decision. At that time it was like this: Pep Guardiola has come, and I have played a good preparation under him. Then we had a very, very honest conversation.

“I was very young and it was important for me to play a lot. He told me honestly: ‘I cannot guarantee you now that you will play every week’.

“Then I saw the opportunity in Leverkusen. They also played in the Champions League. For many, it was a step backwards. But for me, it was a step forward because I always played in Leverkusen. Today you can see that it has paid off.”

Can needed just one season with Leverkusen to earn him a €12 million move to Liverpool.
