Jurgen Klopp has ruled out the possibility of Liverpool selling Xherdan Shaqiri this month. Shaqiri has found first-team football hard to come by at Anfield since joining the Reds from Stoke in July 2018.
The 28-year-old has only made 40 appearances for the Merseysiders, the majority of which have come from the bench.
The former Bayern Munich’s man's failure to establish himself as a first-team regular has seen him linked with a move away from the runaway Premier League leaders.
It’s been claimed the Reds are willing to cash in on the winger, with reports suggesting last season’s Champions League winners have slapped a £25million asking price on his head.
Klopp is well aware of the suggestions he could cash in on the forward but insists he has no desire to do so.

There's absolutely no intention from our side to do anything
Jurgen Klopp on the possibility of Liverpool selling Xherdan Shaqiri
"The majority of December and January we had the bench full of kids, wonderful kids, but kids, so how could we think about giving people to anyone?" Klopp said at a news conference to preview Liverpool's clash with Wolves on Thursday.
"It's not about Shaq, it's about everyone. We have to keep them for sorting our situation, not the situation for different clubs.
"If somebody would come around the corner and ask properly...but that didn't happen.
"[If] they are desperate then we think [about a sale] but there's absolutely no intention from our side to do anything."
