Manchester United transfer news Fergie interest in £20m-rated Borussia Dortmund teenage playmaker Mario Gotze has intensified - News - MirrorFootball.co.uk

Alex Ferguson's interest in bringing Borussia Dortmund teenager Mario Gotze to Manchester United has intensified.

The 18-year-old has cemented his place in the German side’s first team this season and his four Bundesliga goals have helped them to the top of the table.

United boss Fergie has had scouts watch the attacking midfielder in action, according to German newspaper Das Bild , but have yet to make an official bid.

In light of the academy graduate Gotze’s impressive form, Dortmund have raised his fee from £12m to a staggering £20m.

With Paul Scholes nearing the end of his career, Gotze could be an ideal replacement.

Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan have also been linked with the playmaker, but neither are believed to have followed up their interest with a bid.

Dortmund are doing very well this year, this kid has been described by the Germany technical director as "one of the best talents that we've ever had". (Got that from Wikipedia). Kajawa also been linked with us. As have Sahin and Subotic in the past.

Can't see us signing him for €40, will either stay where he is or end up in Spain.

[Crerand Legend]

I would expect this is an agent trying to get the auction going early, we will be linked to god knows who before the summer

[se7en]

Extended his contract until 2016

[Sideshow Bob]

That rules out a move this summer then.

[Cordon726]

Just cause he signed a contract doesn't mean his staying they. My number one target.

[Welly]

Yeah, he signed a new contract, he must be expensive now!!
