Duo in battle over Leverkusen star
Manchester United and Liverpool are both reportedly interested in a move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Karim Bellarabi.
The 25-year-old only signed a contract extension with the Bundesliga club back in February, keeping him at the BayArena until June 2020.
After signing his new deal he said: "I made a giant leap in the current season under coach Roger Schmidt in my development.
"I've never enjoyed such trust as Roger Schmidt. I will do everything to repay him and Leverkusen."
But According to German newspaper Bild, Leverkusen could lose some of their best players in the summer if they fail to qualify for Europe next season.
And the report adds Bellarabi could be one of the names leaving the German side at the end of the season, with both United and Liverpool keen on his services.
The German international, who joined Leverkusen from Braunschweig five years ago, has scored nine goals in 39 appearances this season.
Inter Milan have also been linked with a move for the midfielder.
