In the fight for Varela
This week it emerged that Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing Alan Varela, the current Porto midfielder. But according to SportBild, FC Bayern München have entered the fray for the Argentine player.

How is Dortmund coming along?
BVB is coming off a Champions League match where they lost 2-1 to Atlético de Madrid last Wednesday. The team led by Edin Terzic went behind early on, but in the second half they got back on track and scored the goal that clinched the series.
Unfortunately for them, last Saturday they ended their streak of five consecutive victories in all competitions with a 1-0 defeat against Stuttgart. A result that dropped them down the table, leaving them out of the Champions League places for the time being.
For now they are in fifth place below Leipzig, but equal in points with 53. They have 15 wins, 8 losses and 5 defeats with 55 goals scored and 33 conceded.
How are Mönchengladbach coming along?
Borussia Mönchengladbach came into the Bundesliga in renewed spirits after beating a hopeless VfL Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen-Arena in their last Bundesliga match, with goals from Ko Itakura, Ngoumou and Rocco Reitz.
These last few games were not going well for the Gladbach side. In their last 10, they had only been able to win once, against Bochum; before that, they had beaten Stuttgard, but five games ago.
Today they are in the eleventh position in the standings with 31 points; accumulating 7 wins, 10 draws and 11 defeats; 49 goals scored and 54 conceded.
