Officials from Liverpool met with the representatives of Stoke City’s Xherdan Shaqiri on Friday, according to Dean Jones of Bleacher Report.
The Reds are in the market for some new attackers to help add depth to their squad and apparently see Shaqiri as a player who can come in and help them.
The Swiss international apparently has a £12m relegation release clause in his contract which can now be activated as the Potters were unable to stay in the top-flight.
The 26-year-old is currently on international duty with Switzerland ahead of the World Cup and he’s apparently eager to find a new club before the tournament starts.
Shaqiri, who scored 15 goals in 92 games for Stoke, refused to comment about the speculation linking him with a move to Liverpool when interviewed a few days ago, but it appears that the Reds are interested in signing him this summer.
