Xherdan Shaqiri has revealed he will make a decision on his Liverpool future after Euro 2020.
Shaqiri is currently part of Switzerland’s squad at this summer’s tournament and has been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer.
The 29-year-old joined the Reds from Stoke City in the summer of 2018, and scored six times in 30 appearances in all competitions in his first season with the club.
But Shaqiri has struggled for regular game time over the last few years and made just seven starts last season.
And although he still has two years left on the five-year deal he signed when he moved to Anfield, he appears to be considering his Liverpool future.
“At the moment, I don’t really want to talk about it,” he told a press conference on Tuesday afternoon when asked about his Liverpool future.
“I have a contract there and after the Euros, of course, I will talk to my agent. We will look at the situation and then we will decide how to proceed.”
Having drawn their opening Euro 2020 group game with Wales on Saturday, Shaqiri’s Switzerland face Italy in their next fixture on Wednesday night.
Italy boss Roberto Mancini worked with Shaqiri for eight months at Inter Milan in 2015 and believes the Reds forward is one of the best playmakers in Europe.
“I think Xherdan is a great player,” said Mancini, whose side come into the game on the back of a comfortable 3-0 win over Turkey on Friday night.
“He did what he needed to do at Inter, but unfortunately, Inter were still rebuilding at that time. I think he is one of the best No 10s in Europe.”
