Liverpool: Klopp apologises to Shaqiri over lack of game time
Liverpool have been warned to expect "many offers" for Xherdan Shaqiri in the summer as the winger's agent tips three clubs to approach the Reds in the upcoming transfer window.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp rejected approaches to sell Shaqiri in the January window, however, the German has been warned by Shaqiri's brother and agent, Erdin Shaqiri, that he expects clubs to return with new offers in the summer.
The 28-year-old has only featured in 10 games for Liverpool this season, for a total of 256 minutes, of which seven appearances came off the bench.
Sevilla, Roma and CSKA Moscow had expressed interest in January, although Liverpool rejected the approaches despite having signed Takumi Minamino.
However, Erdin believes Liverpool's resolve to keep Shaqiri, who is under contract until 2023, will be tested again when the transfer window opens.

“I think there will be many offers for Xherdan in the summer," he said to Kosovar TV station KTV, as reported by Swiss publication Blick.
"Already in January, there was concrete interest from two or three clubs.
"These - their names have already been taken up in various media - will knock again."

Erdin also revealed that Shaqiri is in talks with Klopp about more minutes and believes the Switzerland international "deserves a lot more" if he is to stay at Anfield.
“Xherdan's situation in Liverpool is not easy because of several minor injuries that lasted longer than we thought," Erdin added.
"Jurgen Klopp is in talks with him about more game practice - we have to wait and see.
"I think Xherdan deserves a lot more. He was unlucky with his injuries.
"But every time he could play again, he did his job and changed the game."
Shaqiri joined Liverpool from Stoke City for just £13million in the summer of 2018.
The Reds took advantage of a release clause in his contract that was activated when the Potters were relegated from the Premier League
Shaqiri had an impressive debut season as he scored six goals and provided five assists in 30 appearances in all competitions.
However, the former Bayern Munich and Inter Milan winger has dropped down the pecking order this campaign. His availability to be selected has also been hindered after he suffered a couple of injuries.
