Xherdan Shaqiri's Liverpool future could be decided this week, with reliable journalist Neil Jones providing a key update on his future.

The Lowdown: Shaqiri set to leave Liverpool

Shaqiri's Reds career has been an up-and-down one, with the Swiss producing moments of quality (not least the two-goal salvo against Manchester United in 2018) but rarely becoming a key player at the club despite his weekly wage of £86,000.

The 29-year-old is expected to move on before the end of the summer transfer window, with Jurgen Klopp not seeing a future for him at Anfield.

The Latest: Jones provides latest

Goal journalist Jones has now given an update on Shaqiri's future via Twitter, stating that key developments could be made in the coming days and naming four clubs who are interested in signing him. He outlined:

"Interest in Xherdan Shaqiri expected to ramp up this week. Sevilla, Villarreal, Lazio and Napoli among clubs to express interest. Liverpool ready to do business at the right price."

The Verdict: Time to move on

Shaqiri is a capable footballer with bags of experience, but now seems like the right time for him to go and enjoy a fresh challenge. In Harvey Elliott, who dazzled on loan at Blackburn last season, Liverpool potentially have a tailor-made replacement ready to come in and fill the void left by the 96-cap Switzerland international.

Shaqiri's constant inability to stay fit became increasingly problematic - the hope is that Elliott will be available more often - and with his 30th birthday approaching, his time at Liverpool has reached its natural conclusion.

Having started just seven league games over the past two seasons, the writing has frankly been on the wall for some time for the Swiss winger.
