http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 are reported to be interested in obtaining the services of Swiss star Xherdan Shaqiri, who is also linked with a move to Manchester United, Liverpool and LOSC Lille.
The Portistas’ attack has been clearly lacking since the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 to Atletico Madrid and Kleber who was signed to replace the Colombian has failed to win over his critics at Estadio do Dragao.
Porto have lofty ambitions to lift the Primeira Liga and are also keen on progressing in Europe. However they only boast one quality player in their ranks and that is Hulk, who has been touted to seek greener pastures elsewhere.
With the club looking like a shadow of their former selves and currently behind Benfica in the Liga Sagres standings, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira has targeted FC Basel’s Xherdan Shaqiri to team up with Hulk in attack and lead them to glory.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016 International has been one of the star performers in the UEFA Champions League this term and garnered notable attention after guiding his country to the final of the UEFA U-21 Championships.
Since then the continent’s elite has been monitoring the progress of the 21-year-old and the likes of Manchester United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 are believed to be leading the race to sign him.
United have been clearly lacking creativity in the centre of the park and despite the return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394, are going to struggle without a playmaker in their midst. Shaqiri seems like their ideal candidate but the Red Devils face serious competition from
their Merseyside rivals, who are also looking to inject a bit of quality in their squad.
However they are not alone, as Shaqiri’s talents have alerted a plethora of sides such as Bayern Munich, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603, Atletico Madrid and Tottenham and they have expressed an interest in acquiring the winger.
With nearly the whole of Europe keeping tabs on the talented attacker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079 know that they cannot hang on to their main man for long and are believed to be open to potential offers, if someone is able to match their asking price.
The Swiss Super League side has set a reported €30 million buyout clause for the player but are willing to accept proposals in the region of €13-15 million for their coveted asset. The price means that the likes of United and Liverpool would be favourites
but Porto cannot be ruled out at the moment.
Vitor Pereira may be forced to sell http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xherdan-Shaqiri-c37074 they have the ideal candidate, as he is left-footed, possesses
great ability on the ball and is touted to be the next superstar.
