Juve Coach Max Allegri confirmed he wanted to sign a trequartista for his squad, with figures like Wesley Sneijder and Hatem Ben Arfa mentioned.
However, Shaqiri was always first choice and it looks as if director Beppe Marotta will give Allegri his wish.
Among other clubs interested in Shaqiri are Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham.
