Emre Can (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈemɾe ˈdʒan];^[4] born 12 January 1994) is a German professional footballer who plays for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, which he captains, and the Germany national team. A versatile player, he primarily plays as a central midfielder, but is also capable of playing as a defensive midfielder, centre-back, or full-back.

He began his senior career at Bayern Munich, playing mostly in the club's reserve side before his 2013 transfer to Bayer Leverkusen. A season later, he was signed by Premier League club Liverpool for £9.75 million where he made over 150 appearances across all tiers of competition and would join Juventus in 2018. In 2020 he was loaned to Borussia Dortmund; a few weeks later he moved to the team under a permanent deal.

He represented Germany from U15 to U21, and featured at the 2015 U21 European Championship. He made his senior debut in September 2015 and was selected for the 2016 European Championship. The following year, he was with Germany when they won the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia, making his first senior international goal.
