Manchester City and Manchester United have emerged as potential rivals for the signature of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Sven Bender.
The 23-year-old was a key figure in Jurgen Klopp's back-to-back Bundesliga title-winning team, which earned him his first call-up to the German national squad.
However, injuries have seen first-team opportunities limited during this campaign.
According to talkSPORT, the Manchester rivals are both keen on the defensive midfielder, who could cost upwards of £12.5m.
Bender arrived at the Westfalenstadion from 1860 Munich four years ago.
