West Ham United are reportedly willing to meet Liverpool’s £22.5m valuation of Xherdan Shaqiri, according to the Metro, relayed in an article by the Daily Post.
The Swiss international almost joined the Hammers last summer before deciding to move to Merseyside over London.
The 27-year-old has since fallen out of favour at Anfield in the second half of the season and has been mainly used as a late substitute by boss Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds are now reportedly willing to allow the playmaker to depart Anfield over the summer, with Liverpool planning a major summer shake-up.
Despite signing Shaqiri from Stoke City last summer for £13.5m, the Reds now value the versatile midfielder at £22.5m, which the Hammers are reportedly willing to match.
Manuel Pellegrini is expected to be busy in the upcoming window, especially in bringing in attacking reinforcements, however, potentially signing Shaqiri for such a hefty fee may split West Ham fans down the middle.
