Report: Xherdan Shaqiri to join Juventus on loan

Bayern Munich midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri will reportedly join Juventus on loan at the start of next month.

The Swiss international is widely expected to depart the Allianz next month in search of regular football, with a number of clubs interested in a move.

However, according to The Sun, Juve have won the race for the 23-year-old, who won three league titles with Basel before joining Bayern in 2012.

Shaqiri is still widely regarded as one of the most talented attackers in Europe, but has found his path at Bayern blocked by the likes of Arjen Robben and Mario Gotze.

Liverpool reportedly failed in a late offer for the powerful forward.
