Italian outfit Roma are reportedly confident of beating Liverpool to the signing of Bayern Munich attacker Xherdan Shaqiri.
The Swiss international is widely expected to depart the Allianz Areana this summer in search of regular first-team football.
Liverpool had been strongly linked with a move as they prepare to replace the outgoing Luis Suarez, but according to the Daily Star, Roma have submitted an opening offer in the region of £15m.
However, it is understood that Bayern are looking for closer to £20m.
