Liverpool and Man Utd battle for £21m rated midfielder

Liverpool have reportedly join Manchester United in the race to sign Argentina midfielder Lucas Biglia.

The Premier League rivals, who currently sit ninth and second in the standings respectively, are both interested in signing the Lazio captain during the forthcoming January transfer window.

The 29-year-old, who has 37 international caps to his name, has scored four goals in 11 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A outfit so far this season.

New Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is thought to be a huge admirer of the Argentine star, who is also attracting interest from La Liga giants Real Madrid, although Lazio are likely to demand £21m for their prized asset this New Year.
