Hitzfeld recommends Liverpool star to the Bundesliga

Xherdan Shaqiri is well versed in the Bundesliga, after all he was signed by FC Bayern between July 2012 and December 2014. Now coach icon Ottmar Hitzfeld encourages him to return to Germany. “Xherdan should change to a club where he plays regularly,” said the former Swiss national coach in “Blick”: “He must be happy again, we all want to see the happy Xherdan again. A change would be good for his whole environment and for his fans.”

Background: With his current employer FC Liverpool, the flexibly deployable Shaqiri hardly comes any more to the train. On all three previous days in the Premier League, he was not even called into the squad by team manager Jürgen Klopp.

Only in the 7-2 edge victory of the Reds in the 3rd round of the League Cup was he allowed to pick up from the start – and scored promptly by free kick to the 1-0 lead. However, the great stars of the champion were all spared during the match.

“The maximum penalty”: Shaqiri’s time at Liverpool FC expired? Xherdan Shaqiri’s contract with Liverpool is still dated until 2023.
