Shaqiri scored eight goals in 63 appearances for Liverpool, with whom he won the Premier League and Champions League. Shaqiri helped Switzerland reach the quarterfinals at Euro 2020. He failed to establish himself as a regular in Jurgen Klopp’s starting line-up and was mainly used as a substitute. He had two years left on his deal.
