From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal have joined Liverpool in the race for Bayern Munich playmaker Mario Gotze, according to reports.
German news outlet TZ have reported that the Gunners are also interested in the 23-year-old, who scored the winning goal for Germany in the 2014 World Cup final, and will match any offer from Liverpool.
TZ have also reported that Gotze does not feature in incoming Bayern manager Carlo Ancelotti's plans and the club will listen to offers.
It had previously been reported that Liverpool are tabling a £31m bid for the player, as they hope to reunite him with Jurgen Klopp. The pair enjoyed a successful time together at Borussia Dortmund, winning the Bundesliga in 2011 and 2012.
Further reports have claimed that Arsene Wenger will be given £75m to spend this summer, with his team set to have another trophyless season.
Gotze has fallen down the pecking order at Bayern this season, making only eight appearances in the Bundesliga.
