Xherdan Shaqiri has revealed that he was targeted by Liverpool during his time at Bayern Munich.
Liverpool were very confident that he would sign for them but at the end couldn’t entice the player to Anfield. Shaqiri who is right now plying his trade with Stoke City has won a number of trophies during his stint at the Allianz Arena.
Pep Guardiola was given the responsibility to manage Bayern at that time and the Swiss winger had been deemed surplus to requirement. In 2015 he joined Inter Milan on loan and later went on to sign for Stoke City.
Shaqiri said, “I wanted to leave in summer by all means and had offers from Liverpool and Atletico
“Brendan Rodgers called me several times before the World Cup. But Bayern forbid me to leave.”
“Inter wanted me the most. They promised me a new Inter.
“The reception was really crazy. A security man nearly choked me, because there was chaos and he lost the orientation. The life style was amazing, they were the best six months of my life.”
