Liverpool & Man United to scout £10m defensive target in Istanbul derby
Liverpool and Manchester United are set to send scouts to the Intercontinental derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.
A source close to Fenerbahce revealed to Turkish-Football that scouts from United and Liverpool as well as several other European clubs are expected to monitor the game.
Liverpool and United are both expected to keep tabs on Fenerbahce defender Simon Kjaer.
The Premier League giants have been closely linked with Kjaer this season.
Turkish sports newspaper Fanatik recently reported that the Yellow Canaries will accept offers that match their valuation of £10 million for Kjaer.
Per the source, Liverpool, PSG, Monaco, AC Milan and Valencia are also reported to have made an enquiry for the defender.
Kjaer has been in impressive form this season and was named in the Europa League Team of the Group Stage.
The Denmark international featured in the Fenerbahce side that topped Group A ahead of Manchester United.
Kjaer is almost certain to start for Fenerbahce against Galatasaray unless he picks up a late injury.
Fenerbahce who are based in Asian Istanbul take on bitter rivals Galatasaray from European Istanbul in the derby on Sunday 23 April.
