Shaqiri's agent: I think there will be many offers for Xherdan in the summer

Xherdan Shaqiri's agent believes interested clubs "will knock again" during the summer as speculation over the Liverpool attacker continues.

Shaqiri has struggled for first-team action this season having been hampered by a succession of injury problems, restricting him to just 256 minutes.

Sevilla, Roma and CSKA Moscow were interested in signing the 28-year-old during the January transfer window, only for Liverpool to make clear they had no intention of parting with the Switzerland international despite the arrival of Takumi Minamino.

That stance, though, is expected to be tested in the next transfer window, with Shaqiri's brother and agent Erdin anticipating renewed interest in the player.

“I think there will be many offers for Xherdan in the summer," he said to Kosovar TV station KTV, as reported by Swiss news outlet Blick.

"Already in January there was concrete interest from two or three clubs.

"These - their names have already been taken up in various media - will knock again."

Erdin Shaqiri added: “Xherdan's situation in Liverpool is not easy because of several minor injuries that lasted longer than we thought.

"Jurgen Klopp is in talks with him about more game practice - we have to wait and see.

"I think Xherdan deserves a lot more. He was unlucky with his injuries.

"But every time he could play again, he did his job and changed the game."
