Bayern Munich winger Xherden Shaqiri has dealt Premier League side Liverpool a huge transfer blow by revealing interest in a move to Juventus.
The Switzerland international has been linked with a move away from the Allianz Arena all Summer, and Liverpool have been widely speculated as his likely destination, but after an impressive World Cup in Brazil, more clubs have shown interest in the winger, in particular, Serie A champions Juventus.
A move to Anfield in a £15million deal was on the cards, but after talks broke down between Brendan Rodgers and Shaqiri’s representatives, Juve sparked interest in the 22-year-old, and in a recent interview, the Swiss winger admitted it would be tough to say no to them.
“Juventus would definitely be a nice option,” Shaqiri told Tuttosport.
“Juventus are a big club, who wouldn’t want to play for them… I don’t think Juventus would be a step back in my career.
“But I am on holiday at the moment. My brother is occupying himself with my future.
“I don’t know whether Juventus have been in touch with Bayern. I have not heard anything about it from Juventus or Bayern.”
