Transfer News/ Liverpool close to completing £15m deal for Bayern Munich winger

TRANSFER NEWS LIVERPOOL CLOSE TO COMPLETING 15M DEAL FOR BAYER MUNICH WINGER/ Liverpool (England)- According to Daily Star, Liverpool are close to completing a £15m deal for Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri. Shaqiri admitted last month he was ready to quit Bayern after failing to establish himself as a first-team regular since the arrival of Pep Guardiola as manager last summer. Liverpool, as exclusively revealed by Starsport, lodged a £15m bid for Shaqiri last week with manager Brendan Rodgers intent on bolstering his squad ahead of a return to the Champions League next season. And according to reports in Shaqiri’s native Switzerland, Liverpool are close to clinching his signature. If the 22-year-old completes a switch to Anfield, he would become Liverpool’s third summer signing following the arrivals of Southampton forward Rickie Lambert and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Emre Can.
