Sabah has claimed that Xherdan Shaqiri is not happy at Liverpool and wants to leave Anfield.

Fenerbahce have reportedly made an offer to Liverpool to sign Shaqiri on loan in the summer transfer window.

The former Premier League champions want €7 million (£6.01 million) as transfer fee for the winger, who still has two more years left on his contract, according to the report.

The 29-year-old is reportedly unhappy at Liverpool due to his lack of playing time and has told his agent to find a new club.

Liverpool should ask for more

Now, it does seem likely that Shaqiri would want to leave.

Signed from Stoke City in the summer of 2018 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £13 million, the Switzerland international has been a peripheral figure at Liverpool.

True, the 29-year-old has won the Premier League and the Champions League with the Reds, but there is no denying the fact that he is a squad player.

Just look at his stats.

However, Liverpool should not sell Xhaqiri for just €7 million (£6.01 million), especially as they paid £13 million, and should ask for more.

It would be a loss of £7 million for the Merseyside club.

Moreover, the winger has two more years left on his contract, so Liverpool are in a strong position in terms of negotiations.
