Manchester United join Liverpool in race for Draxler

Liverpool are set to face competition from Manchester United and Arsenal for the signing of £32m-rated Paris St-Germain winger Julian Draxler, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Reports over the weekend stated that Paris St-Germain are wanting to offload Draxler this summer, despite only signing him from Wolfsburg in January of this year.

Having completed the world record signing of Neymar from Barcelona for a fee of £198million, Draxler could find minutes hard to come by next season if he were to remain at the Ligue 1 side.

Draxler played just the final five minutes of Paris St-Germain’s 6-2 victory at home to Toulouse on Sunday, after he came on as a substitute in place of Angel Di Maria.

Arsenal are reportedly leading the chase for the 23-year-old’s signature, but Manchester United and Liverpool are also reportedly readying bids.

Liverpool had tried to sign Draxler from Wolfsburg in January but the German opted for a move to Paris instead.
