XHERDAN SHAQIRI is set to quit Liverpool this summer with Lazio interested, according to reports.

And now Shaqiri could finally quit Anfield with Lazio set to swoop if Maurizio Sarri takes over at the Italian giants.
Lazio are currently without a boss after Simone Inzaghi took over from Antonio Conte at Inter Milan.
Sarri has been out of work since leaving Juventus after just one title-winning season in 2019-20.
But he’s hotly linked with taking over at Lazio – who finished sixth in Serie A last season.
Should he arrive, transfer expert Nicolo Schira has revealed Shaqiri could be one of his top targets.
Shaqiri joined Liverpool in a £13million deal in 2018 and was a key first-team member in his debut season.
However, injuries and lack of form limited to just 21 Premier League appearances in the past two seasons, including just SEVEN in the 2019-20 title triumph.
Shaqiri is expected to be part of a TEN-strong exodus at Anfield this summer.
