Japan's rising star Shinji
Kagawa is set for trial stints with Barcelona and Real
Madrid.
According to reports in the Far East, the 20 year-old is
considering offers to train with the Primera Liga giants, subject
to approval from his club Cerezo Osaka.
"The Spanish league is my favourite. The attacking mentality
suits my style," Kagawa said on Nikkan Sports.
"My dream is to play in the Champions League one day, so this is
a great opportunity."
The skilful midfielder made his debut for the national team last
May and has gone on to earn eight more caps for the Blue
Samurai.
Regarded as the country's top young talent, Kagawa is backed by
Cerezo club president Nobuyoshi Fujita to make it big in
Europe.
"We will definitely consider any offers that we believe will
benefit him," he said.
"It is a dream of his to play overseas. He has our full
support."
Besides Barcelona and Real, Espanyol and Atletico Madrid are
also reportedly monitoring the player's progress.
