Inter want to close for Shaqiri

By Football Italia staff

Inter are looking to close on Bayern Munich's Xherdan Shaqiri, with their offer outlined to the player today and director Piero Ausilio ready to depart.

In finalising the transfer of Lukas Podolski from Arsenal, Il Biscione are hoping to land their second purchase of the winter by signing the Swiss playmaker.

Inter President Erick Thohir is keen to close the deal as quickly as possible, among other things to beat the competition of clubs like Liverpool and Everton.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, it is a situation that may have the Indonesian willing to raise the contract on the table to €2.75m a year until 2019, to move closer Shaqiri's demands.

The offer will apparently be illustrated to the player by FIFA agent Ulisse Savini as well as by the player's brother.

Inter director Piero Ausilio has no journeys scheduled yet, but was instructed by Thohir to be ready to fly to Munich on the whim should the Swiss international be happy with the offer.

Potentially decisive developments are expected by Wednesday, when Shaqiri’s representatives are to meet with Bayern Munich officials.
