This comes as a complete U-turn after Italian outlet Corriere Dello Sport (h/t Mirror) suggested that Liverpool might allow Shaqiri to leave for free. Italian side Lazio are mentioned as the club interested in the player.

Shaqiri at Liverpool
Liverpool signed Shaqiri in 2018. The Champions League winner was joining with huge expectations due to his heroics with Stoke City.
However, the 29-year-old never really got a run of games at Anfield. He found it difficult to overtake the likes of Salah, Mane and Firmino in the pecking order. It became more difficult as the club signed Diogo Jota last season.

The player also has had his fair share of injuries at the club. The player himself admitted to being frustrated due to his recurrent injuries.
