Kagawa, the good move of Bordeaux?

 Bordeaux reportedly agreed with Dortmund on the loan from Shinji Kagawa. The Japanese attacking midfielder's approval is still required.

The information is to be taken with a pinch of salt, but could lead to a very nice move for the Girondins de Bordeaux. According to beIN Sports and its journalist Eric Barrère, an agreement in principle has been reached between the FCGB and Borussia Dortmund for the loan of Shinji Kagawa until the end of the season. In need of playing time in Germany, the Japanese would have a preference for an experience in Spain, but has not, at this time, closed the door to the French championship.

If Kagawa, 29, were to join Aquitaine, Eric Bedouet would be able to count on an almost unexpected reinforcement at the number 10 position. Kagawa, who does not compete in the Asian Cup of Nations with his country, has won two German championship titles with Borussia and one English title with Manchester United. He has only played in two Bundesliga matches with the BVB since his return from the 2018 World Cup with Japan.

Discussions are also reportedly underway with Algerian international Ryad Boudebouz, who is also in a frustrating situation with Betis Seville. Bordeaux does not intend to remain silent on the winter market, while François Kamano, the Girondins' striker, is announced for AS Monaco.
