‘Shaqiri can leave…’

Franz Beckenbauer says Juventus and Napoli target Xherdan Shaqiri can leave Bayern Munich in the January transfer window.

Franz Beckenbauer says Juventus and Napoli target Xherdan Shaqiri can leave Bayern Munich in the January transfer window.

The Swiss international has been linked with a move to several Serie A clubs, but the player’s agent warned this week that Bayern would not allow the player to leave the club on loan.

Shaqiri could however be set to depart the Allianz Arena, after honorary Bayern President Franz Beckenbauer told reporters that only players who want to be with the German champions will play.

“Bayern have already given some indications to the lad,” Beckenbauer told Sky.

“He can leave Bayern Munich during the winter transfer window.

“Personally, i want players who want to stay here with us, for me if a player doesn’t want to be here then it’s right he go to another club.”
