Bayern Munich will allow Xherdan Shaqiri to leave the club in the January transfer window, alerting Liverpool.
Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are said to be ready to part company with the 22-year-old and have set a £15m transfer fee on the Swiss international’s head.
Merseyside giants Liverpool were thought to be leading the race to secure his signature during the summer transfer window, although Roma have also been interested in recent months.
Roma are looking to build on the momentum of last term, when they flirted with challenging for the Scudetto title and pushed top dogs Juventus for large chunks of the campaign.
Liverpool will have a significant transfer budget to pursue different attack-minded targets if indeed they do miss out on Shaqiri.
