Liverpool monitoring Shaqiri situation

Liverpool are keeping an eye on Bayern Munich's Swiss winger Xherdan Shaqiri, and the ex-Basel man has told 20 Minuten that if he were to move on, then "England would be an option".

Shaqiri seems to be growing tired of the situation at his current club, where Pep Guardiola's side is full to the brim of world class talent and the winger feels he can't sit on the bench when there could be opportunities to enhance his career elsewhere. 

"It's clear that I cannot continue like this. If nothing changes, I will have to make some changes myself. I want to play in the important games as well and not just in the Bundesliga. I don't want to go through another year like this".

"I only want to play for a major club. The Champions League is important. We will see what happen.

"England would be an option. If I were to leave Bayern, it would be for a foreign club. But one challenging for the title".

Liverpool are certainly after players like Shaqiri this summer, and he is a winger with pace and a threat to any full back. Reports suggest he may be an alternative to Adam Lallana, who appears to have accumalated a price tag which the Reds won't match, as it's unlikely they will surpass the £20m they were expected to bid for the Southampton skipper.
