Liverpool Join Manchester United In Chase For Dortmund Star

Liverpool is ready to battle Manchester United, AC Milan and Juventus in their attempts to sign Borussia Dortmund star Shinji Kagawa.

Kagawa, 22, is rated one of the best young midfielders in the Bundesliga and has alerted several big clubs across Europe.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is keen to add some fresh faces to his squad in January and reports in Germany suggest he has sent scouts to watch the Japanese international in action.

Kagawa has a contract with Borussia Dortmund until June 2013 and Liverpool will have to spend at least £18m if they want to sign the talented star.

But they face stiff competition as both AC Milan and Juventus are also hoping to clinch his signature in January.

Manchester United has also been keen on Kagawa in the past but it appears they have cooled their interest, which could let Liverpool in.
