The English Premier League champions are reportedly edging closer to signing the Japanese International, who has been one of the star performers in the Bundesliga.
Rarely does a player from Asia captivate the imagination of clubs across Europe but times have changed and have signaled the ascension of the continent as a talent hot-bed.
In recent months, Borussia Dortmund star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 has been stealing the headlines as one of the most sought after players in the world.
The Japanese International has been in superb form all season, taking over the club mantel from the injured Mario Goetze and inspiring the Germans to the title. With his performances, interest from top sides was inevitable and it seems that Manchester United
and Chelsea are the ones slugging it out for his signature.
BVB have reiterated that their prized asset is not going to be available on the cheap but are ready to cash in on him, if a suitable bid comes their way. However the situation has worsened for the club in recent days, as Kagawa has refused to pen another
deal at the helm.
Jurgen Klopp’s side could lose the attacker for nothing if they don’t get him to agree to sign another contract and have given him the one month’s time to decide whether his future lies in Germany or not.
This has further intensified the interest from United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, who are both in dire need of additions to their respective midfields.
The Red Devils have lacked a creative in their side despite http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson is reportedly keen on bringing Kagawa to Old Trafford.
Joining him in the race to acquire the highly rated midfielder is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo, who will surely land the Chelsea hotseat in the summer, if he keeps up his side’s superb run of form.
The Blues have enormous spending power thanks to Roman Abramovich and could possibly utilize that this summer to get their desired players. While Kagawa could not move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 are numbered given how many
top sides are on his trail.
