Xherdan Shaqiri heading for Bayern Munich exit in January

Shaqiri heading for Bayern exit

Bayern Munich honorary president Franz Beckenbauer has claimed that the club is willing to sell winger Xherdan Shaqiri during the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old Swiss international has been linked with a host of European teams in recent months because of a lack of first-team action at the Allianz Arena.

Shaqiri's current deal with German champions Bayern is due to expire in 2016.

"Bayern have already sent out a signal and indicated to him that he can probably go in the winter break, when he wants," Beckenbauer told Sport1. "I think it's a shame because he is a great talent."

Juventus and Liverpool are among the clubs to have been linked with Shaqiri since the summer.
