Xherdan Shaqiri is set to join Inter, the club have confirmed, after they reached an agreement with Bayern Munich on Thursday. The Switzerland international has agreed a move to the Italian giants, with a four-year contract just requiring his signature after the clubs settled on a fee. The Nerazzurri have agreed to sign the Switzerland international on loan until the end of the season for €2 million, and will then be obliged to pay €12m at the end of the season to make the deal permanent. An extra payment will be made if Inter qualify for the 2015-16 Champions League. Inter announced the transfer is almost complete on their television channel, claiming the highly-rated 23-year-old attacker just needs to put pen-to-paper on the verbally agreed contract to seal the deal.
Shaqiri, who was given permission to skip training with Bayern on Thursday, has given his blessing to a four-year contract with the 2010 European champions on a salary of €2.75m a season. The two clubs have been negotiating a transfer over recent days, and Nerazzurri directors Marco Fassone, Piero Ausilio and Michael Bolingbroke flew to Munich to finalise the deal with Bayern counterparts Matthias Sammer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. "There is total agreement between Inter and Bayern Munich for the arrival of Xherdan Shaqiri," the Nerazzurri tweeted. "We're only missing the signatures."
However, he has found regular playing time hard to come by due to the presence of Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery. The 23-year-old joined Bayern from Basel in 2012 and has scored 17 goals in 81 games for the Bavarians - winning two Bundesliga titles and the Champions League among a host of honours.
