Liverpool are being challenged in a potential race to sign Brazilian winger Renato Augusto.
The Bayer Leverkusen winger started his career at homeland Flamengo, joining the club's youth
system in 2001 and making his senior debut in 2005. After three years and 89 appearances for Mengo,
the Bundesliga club would pay an undisclosed fee in the region of €10 for Augusto's services.
Borussia Dortmund extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga thanks to a 2-1 win at Freiburg
in a dramatic match at the Dreisam Stadion. Both Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich lost further
ground on the runaway league leaders Dortmund as they shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at the
BayArena.
