# Liverpool: Fans react positively to Xherdan Shaqiri exit rumour

**A number of Liverpool fans are happy with reports that Xherdan Shaqiri could leave the Reds and join Lazio in the summer transfer window.**

The Swiss has had a frustrating Reds career, never quite managing to hit the heights many expected of him. He has been limited to just [63 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xherdan-shaqiri/alletore/spieler/86792) for Liverpool since [arriving](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44818207) from Stoke City in 2018, with [injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xherdan-shaqiri/verletzungen/spieler/86792) and [patchy form](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xherdan-shaqiri/alletore/spieler/86792) both holding him back.

It has become increasingly clear that the 29-year-old isn’t considered a key figure by Jurgen Klopp moving forward, having [started only five league games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xherdan-shaqiri/leistungsdaten/spieler/86792) last season, leading to [suggestions](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-rumours/liverpool-fenerbahce-eye-up-xherdan-shaqiri-signing/) that he could move on this summer.

According to [Corriere dello Sport](https://www.corrieredellosport.it/) \[via LFC Transfer Room on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1401925371193442317?s=20)\], Shaqiri will move on to pastures new in the coming weeks and months, with Maurizio Sarri keen on taking him to Lazio if the former Chelsea boss takes over at the Stadio Olimpico.
