Xherdan Shaqiri could be on his way to Liverpool this summer[GETTY]
Kop boss Brendan Rodgers is looking at both players as he tries to add more creativity to his squad ahead of next season.
Liverpool have offered £25million for Lallana but the Saints are holding out for £30m.
And the Reds have lodged a bid for £15m-rated Shaqiri as an alternative to the England man.
According to sources in Italy, Liverpool have now opened talks with Bayern for the 22-year-old.
Should Shaqiri seal a move to Anfield this summer, it would appear to dash any hopes of Lallana heading to Merseyside.
Shaqiri is open to leaving Bayern after struggling for regular action under Pep Guardiola.
