Max Allegri dropped hints that Juventus will try to sign Xherdan Shaqiri from Bayern Munich. “A trequartista wouldn’t go amiss.”

The club has been repeatedly linked with a swoop for the Swiss international, who complained bitterly at the lack of playing time in Germany.

“Who would I sign for January? Well, a trequartista wouldn’t go amiss in this squad…” Allegri told Tuttosport.

Since moving to the 4-3-1-2 system, Arturo Vidal and Roberto Pereyra have taken the role behind the strikers, but they are not entirely suited to the position.

Shaqiri’s contract with Bayern expires in June 2016 and he appears to have no intention of renewing.

Tuttosport claims Juve have already met with Shaqiri’s agent – who is also his brother – but the Bianconeri want him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

The Swiss starlet is valued at €15m-€20m and is also of interest to Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Inter.
