Shock reaction as LFC could wrap up Shaqiri in 24 hours

Posted by

Liverpool signing players from relegated clubs has always been a thing during our modern era.

Off the top of our heads, we can think of Charlie Adam from Blackpool, Gini Wijnaldum from Newcastle, Danny Ings from Burnley and Andy Robertson from Hull, to name but a few.

And this summer’s lucky player could be Stoke City’s Xherdan Shaqiri.

According to reliable Liverpool correspondent Melissa Reddy, the club is interested in paying the Swiss international’s £12m release clause, which became active when the Potters were demoted to the Championship.

Providing we sign Lyon captain Nabil Fekir as well, and Shaqiri arrives as a talented bench-option, we don’t mind.

If Shaqiri is an alternative to Fekir, we’ll be very disappointed, in truth.

Simon Hughes in the Independent says that one of those deals could go through in the next 24 hours, and given the fact we’re struggling to agree a fee with Lyon, Shaqiri looks much more likely.

Here’s how the fans have taken the news:
