The race to sign Bayern Munich’s Xherdan Shaqiri has taken a twist as his agents meet with both Juventus and Inter Milan.
Trusted Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla has reported that the player’s agent found a ‘positive conclusion’ during a meeting held with representatives from Inter Milan earlier. They are expected to meet with Juventus later today to receive a definitive offer which they can compare with Inter’s bid.
Further reports in today’s Tuttosport suggest that Juventus are prepared to take the player on loan until the summer with a purchase clause that would be conditional to the club meeting their season’s targets: The Scudetto and the Quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The whole deal would be would be worth in the region of €15m with the Bianconeri offering Bayern €12m to purchase outright following a 6 month loan for €3m.
Inter would offer the German champions a similar deal including a loan and a compulsory purchase with payment deferred over the next 4 years (€15m in total).
Liverpool may yet enter the bidding for the Swiss international given their previous interest in the player.
Juventus are also reported to be looking at Wesley Sneijder as a realistic option for the midfield should their bid for Shaqiri fail.
What about sitting with Bayern management instead of these endless meetings with Shaqiri’s agent!!
Marotta and his pals probably have to find out more important things than his price, that only his manager can share. For example, could he eat a plate of pasta properly?
Don’t tell me Inter is possibly getting Shaqiri, that would be just insane :/ Though I can’t imagine Shaqiri preferring inter anyway, he can be a starter at Juve as well and be a champion with us instead of lingering around the midtable
Swear to god of we dont get him, then that would only prove Conte right that the management will never spend more towards quality
Inter have made their offer earlier today – they will be a meeting with juve agents – we may still get him as it sounds like Juve are his more favoured destination of all the clubs he’s linked with.
If not, we might get Sneijder – not for me
Send sneijder back to inter…much rather have shaqiri and i assume almost everyone else would too
i’m confused as to how we could be willing to spend 17mil on pereyra but not 15mil on shaqiri
Well technically we havent YET spent 17 mill on pereyra
