SHAQIRI CONFIRMS HIS INTENTION TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL

XherdanShaqiri has revealed his desire to leave Liverpool as he wants to play regular football starting from next season. The Switzerland international attacker has been limited to only a little amount of game time under Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp as he prefers Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, and Diogo Nota ahead of Shaqiri in the pecking order.
The winger, who is a constant fixture for Switzerland in the national team, has lamented a lack of opportunities under Klopp and has hinted that he is now fed up and is ready to leave Anfield as early as this summer in a heart-to-heart conversation with the Reds boss.

Shaqiri featured for Liverpool last season but only on a limited basis and although Klopp continued to affirm him that he would get more game time, it has been a pretty tough decision for the former Borussia Dortmund manager to play Shaqiri ahead of any of his preferred starting attackers. A decent signing from Stoke City, Shaqiri came to Liverpool with the hunger to earn himself a starting role at the club after impressing Klopp but he has not been able to do so and it has seemingly affected his mentality.

The former Bayern Munich star has now revealed that while he still has a lot of respect for Jurgen Klopp and his decisions as the Liverpool manager, he wants to leave the club and start a new challenge elsewhere.

It is currently unknown where the player will end up this summer as there hasn't been any report of any club showing a sign in signing him so far, butit is reported that some unnamed Premier League sides have registered an interest in him. He is expected to reach a decision in the coming days and sort out his future at Anfield.
