Borussia Dortmund remains confident they can keep Shinji Kagawa at the Westfalenstadion, amid interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.

The 23-year-old Japanese international has been excellent form again this season for title chasing Dortmund, bagging 12 goals and 7 assists so far, and his performances have once again seen a whole host of transfer interest in him from a plethora of clubs in Europe.

Kagawa is valued at £15m and with only 18months remaining on his contract, Dortmund are hopeful they can get him signed up to a new deal. An offer is on the table for Kagawa but the German giants will not be rushing him into making a decision.

“We have had talks with Shinji” CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said.

“From our side we have made him an offer and now Shinji has time to think about it and decide.

“Then we could have a talk after 14 days or so. That is if it is necessary. We have not given Shinji any ultimatum.

“He could say yes now but if he wants to talk about it then we can talk. Then a decision can be taken in the coming weeks. But I am confident that Shinji will stay with us.” (Daily Mail)
