Liverpool will get another chance to sign Xherdan Shaqiri after the Bayern Munich ace revealed he will consider his future at the Bundesliga club in January.

 The Reds have been chasing Shaqiri since last January and the 22-year-old confirmed they made a concrete offer for him before the World Cup, only for Bayern to reject the proposal.

Now, however, with his contract running down, Shaqiri is willing to listen to offers outside the Bundesliga but did not rule out staying at Munich.

"Liverpool made a bid for me before the World Cup but Bayern put their foot down and told me, 'We're not going to sell you'," he said.

"My contract runs until 2016 and I could possibly extend it.

"I will consider my decision during the winter break."

Liverpool first showed their interest in Shaqiri in late January.

But a £20million deal never materialised, despite the pre-Brazil 2014 bid, as Bayern concluded their transfer business way before deadline day.

Come January, however, the German champions may be tempted to cut ties with their Swiss international and Liverpool, balancing a Premier League title race with Champions League fixtures, will be waiting to make another offer.

Shaqiri excelled at the World Cup this summer, bagging three goals for Switzerland, who face England on Monday night in their first Euro 2016 qualifier.
