Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in signing Julian Draxler from Wolfsburg, according to the Irish Independent. The German international only transferred from Schalke for £25.2million last summer but it is now believed that Wolsfburg are willing to allow the player to leave for over £30million after just one year.

The 22 year old has started a number of games at this summer’s European Championships for Germany, and especially impressed in the last 16 match against Slovakia. With the injury to Mario Gomez he may start against France in the semi final tonight.

Draxler had an excellent season for Wolfsburg last campaign, making 35 appearances, scoring nine goals and providing eight assists. Considering the number of attacking midfielders have at the club, it seems unlikely that the Reds would be pursuing the playmaker. However, with Roberto Firmino favoured as a support striker or leading the forward line, and Coutinho usually used in a wide role, a place in the attack for a creative central midfielder could be found.
