Report: Galatasaray want to sign Liverpool winger Xherdan Shaqiri

, the Switzerland star is wanted by Galatasaray head coach, Fatih Tehrim.

Shaqiri has been on the periphery of things in the main ever since arriving at Anfield. He has, however, proved to be a useful squad player as Jurgen Klopp’s men have enjoyed European success and now, domestic success.
However, his time with the club could be coming to an end this summer. Liverpool are in the market to land German sensation Timo Werner. That means freeing up funds and space in the squad, something the sale of Shaqiri can help with.

The Reds would also be clearing quite a chunk off their wage bill in the process, too. Indeed, according to , Shaqiri currently commands a hefty £80k-a-week.
