Liverpool’s transfer brokers probably didn’t expect that…
With his winter move to the United States, ex-Bayern star Xherdan Shaqiri (30) is now the most expensive purchase of all time by major league team Chicago Fire. And the Klopp club a few million poorer. Blame it on, according to the English newspaper Express: a spicy contract detail.
Review: Last summer, Switzerland international Shaqiri wanted to leave Liverpool FC. And because the model professional has never complained about his role as a back-up in three years with the Reds and the door has already been slammed in his face for a change due to staff shortages, Liverpool agree this time.
After a strong European Championship for Switzerland, top French club Olympique Lyon are interested. And in order to seal the deal, Liverpool proposes for the powerful dribbler (12 million market value at the time) at an effective fee of “only” six million euros.
The rest of the targeted income is linked to bonuses with Lyon – a mistake that is now costing the Klopp club dearly.
Because: Due to Shaqiri’s quick move to the USA, this performance-related extra income is now suddenly off the table. And Liverpool is starving.
According to the “Express”, more than 5 million euros in possible bonus payments were contractually fixed and linked to the usual factors such as titles, playing times or league placements. With the early departure from the club of ex-Leverkusen coach Peter Bosz, Shaqiri does not even end a season in France. And Liverpool are losing a lot of money.

For Shaqiri, Chicago is now his seventh professional club after Basel, Bayern, Inter Milan, Stoke City, the Reds and Lyon. The US club paid 7 million euros for him, making him an all-time record purchase.
But the big winner of the Shaqiri push is Lyon: Because if you offset the transfer expenses and income against each other, the French still have a transfer million plus with him despite the short deployment times (16 missions, only 2 over 90 minutes). generated.
