The 26-year-old’s future has been on hold due to his duties with Switzerland at the World Cup.

If Liverpool were to make a move for the Stoke City player he would certainly add depth to Jurgen Klopp’s attacking options at a reasonable price.

The Reds will now make a decision in the coming days whether to act on their interest and conduct a deal.

Despite speculation that an agreement was already in place, the Reds have yet to formally open talks, James Pearce claims.

“At the moment, I can’t say anything. You are going to hear soon on my future,” Shaqiri said.

“I was not thinking about this because I was just focused on my national team and wanted to make a good tournament for my team and my nation. It’s pretty normal to be aware of clubs being interested.

“I don’t know, it’s not dependant on me sometimes. Of course, I would like to play on the biggest stage in football. Everybody knows that.”
