The 26-year-old scored eight goals and provided seven other assists, and Stoke would be willing to sell him if they get a fee in the region of £12-13 million.
The Swiss playmaker, who has 69 caps to his name, earns around £36k-per-week at Stoke City, and meeting his wages should not be a problem.
Jurgen Klopp is not looking to sign an out an out striker, rather he wants versatile, attacking players who would increase the competition with Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
Shaqiri is a very good player and has Premier League experience under his belt. He would add significant depth and quality to the attacking line up.
However, with Spurs also in the race – a club that can provide him Champions League football – Liverpool must act quickly if they are serious about signing him.
