Bayern Munich and Zenit St Petersburg have emerged as rivals to Liverpool for the signature of Fiorentina ace Juan Manuel Vargas, reports suggest.
According to talkSPORT, the 28-year-old midfielder is said to be keen on a new challenge and has been valued at around £15m.
Liverpool have been continually linked with the Peruvian international, however it seems that he could now be tempted by offers from elsewhere.
Vargas, who can also operate as a winger, moved to Florence from Catania in 2008.
