1 Switzerland star Xherdan Shaqiri

Roma have agreed personal terms with Liverpool target Xherdan Shaqiri, according to Italian newspaper Il Tempo.

However, the Serie A giants are yet to reach an agreement with Bayern Munich over the transfer of the Switzerland playmaker.

Bayern’s sporting director Matthias Sammer stated earlier this week that Shaqiri would not be sold but the 22-year-old is a wanted man and could be tempted to leave the Allianz Arena by the prospect of greater first-team opportunities elsewhere.

Now Il Tempo report that Roma have managed to agree a deal with Shaqiri, although they still need to sort out a fee with Bayern.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has identified Shaqiri as one of his main summer targets as he looks to boost his attacking options following the sale of Luis Suarez, but he faces stiff competition from Italy, as Juventus are also now in the hunt for the former Basel man.
