Bayern Munich challenge Liverpool for Newcastle fullback Enrique

Bayern Munich plan to challenge Liverpool for Newcastle United fullback Jose Enrique.

The Sunday Mirror says it had seemed that ­Anfield boss Kenny Dalglish was in pole position to land ­Enrique this summer, ­despite AC Milan's interest in the ­Spanish left-back.

But Bayern, who can boast a £100million transfer kitty, have other ideas.

Enrique enters the final year of his Newcastle ­contract this summer, and is on record as saying he wants to play Champions League football.

Bayern hope that could swing the deal for them - the ­German giants also believe they will snatch third place in ­the Bundesliga this term and ­qualify for next ­season's Champions League.
