But their bids were rejected by the Merseyside giants who are currently unbeaten in the league.
According to The Mirror, Shaqiri, 28, could be permitted to leave permanently with the Reds signing Japan’s Takumi Minamino.
The Switzerland winger appears to have fallen out of favour having played only ten games so far this season. Six of those were Premier League appearances.
With Klopp praising Minamino for his “desire to win the ball”, Shaqiri could struggle to get back into the team.
Liverpool, who are currently top of the table, play Wolves in the league on Thursday.
And this Sunday they’ll take on Shrewsbury in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
This week the club have been named as the preferred choice for Bundesliga hotshot Timo Werner.
The RB Leipzig star has been in fine form with 18 goals in 17 league appearances.
On Sunday SunSport reported that it would cost the Reds £60m to land the striker.
