Sevilla are preparing a mega offer to sign Xherdan Shaqiri this summer, according to Blick, via Sport Witness.
The 28-year-old is expected to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, having fallen out of favour under Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds are believed to want between £16 million and £18 million for Shaqiri’s services, with Roma and CSKA Moscow among those keen on signing him.
It is Sevilla who appear to be leading the race, however, with a ‘lucrative multi-year contract’ mentioned in the report.

I think it makes total sense for all parties to move Shaqiri on, allowing the Swiss more playing time and giving Liverpool the chance to sign a superior replacement.
Milot Rashica has been mooted as a summer arrival for the Reds – he is a younger alternative with 10 goals and four assists for Werder Bremen this season.
It is easy to forget that Liverpool paid just £13 million to sign Shaqiri, and it looks as though they should make that back and more this summer, having got some useful contributions from him, such as his two match-winning goals against Manchester United or his pinpoint cross to Gini Wijnaldum in the famous comeback win against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final.
That is fantastic business if it proves to be case, highlighting the continued good work of Klopp and Michael Edwards in the transfer market.
