nothing short of a struggle. The Swiss star who
moved to the Bavarian giants in 2012 from FC Basel
has hardly got the game time he expected at the
Allianz Arena. Shaqiri however dazzled at the World
Cup in Brazil but in reality, he was always going to
have a bit part role at Bayern.
The dazzling 23 year old was linked with a move
away from his present club in the summer with
Liverpool as well as Italian side Roma interested in
acquiring his services. However, none of the deals
failed to materialize and the player stayed put at the
Munich based side.
Shaqiri Juventus transfer
However, Italian Media outlet Tuttosport have been
reporting over the past few days that reigning Serie A
Champions Juventus are keen on signing the winger
in the upcoming January transfer window. They have
also dedicated a full front page report this morning
that the Bianconeri are just a step away from signing
the player in the winter.
Shaqiri has just featured in 13 appearances for
Bayern this season and has scored a couple of goals.
We had earlier reported that Juventus were
interested in the Swiss star while there were claims
that Russian side Spartak Moscow had made an offer
close to €20m for the player.
Liverpool though would be disappointed to miss out
on Shaqrir as it now appears that he will move to
Turin in January. The left footed winger would have
seamlessly fitted in Brendan Rodgers' starting eleven
thanks to his immense versatility. Moreover Shaqiri
is tactically very flexible and would have suited the
Reds' style of play. Liverpool had also made also
made contacts with Shaqiri's brother who is also his
agent in the summer but the deal somehow fell
through.
