The 23 year old Swiss international seems destined to leave the Allianz Arena having become something of a bit-part player under Pep Guardiola, and Brendan Rodgers will apparently step back and allow Shaqiri move to Inter Milan on a short term deal ahead of a Liverpool bid to sign the player permanently in the summer.
Such a plan seems a risky approach to take, after all one imagines that if Shaqiri is sufficiently impressive at the San Siro then Roberto Mancini will move to make the move permanent.
Alternatively a good showing from the pint-sized wide-man will of course alert other prospective suitors and helpfully bump up his price, a move that clearly benefits Bayern Munich but not Liverpool.
Also Liverpool urgently need effective attacking options in January as a Champions League berth for next term is crucial, not least to aid the club’s efforts to land top targets.
