# Liverpool: Fans not impressed with Reds’ stance on Xherdan Shaqiri

**Many Liverpool fans pleaded with the club to keep midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri in light of the recent update surrounding his future.**

According to the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/four-liverpool-players-who-could-19548264), the 29-year-old could be one of a few players to leave during the January transfer window, believed to be valued at £20m.

The report added that youngsters Liam Millar and Yassar Larouchi could also be on their way out of the Anfield exit door.

Shaqiri is yet to start a Premier League game for Jurgen Klopp’s side this season and has only featured in the German’s starting eleven once in the Champions League ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/76304/Show/Xherdan-Shaqiri)).

The Switzerland international has struggled with multiple [calf injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xherdan-shaqiri/verletzungen/spieler/86792) since his [£13m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44818207) move from Stoke City in 2018 and has scored just [eight goals from 47 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xherdan-shaqiri/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/86792) during that timeframe.

Despite this, supporters were not keen to see Shaqiri leave the club this month, making their feelings clear towards the boss and the club’s board.
