Monaco are ready to rival Liverpool and a host of Serie A clubs for the signature of Bayern Munich ace Xherdan Shaqiri.

The Principality side are in need of a new playmaker after selling James Rodriguez to Real Madrid and they are now targeting Switzerland star Shaqiri.

Bayern are keen to hang on to the 22-year-old, with their club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently admitting the Bavarian giants had spurned enquiries from teams in England and Italy.

However, Liverpool, Roma and Juventus, and now Monaco, all feel they can tempt him away from the Allianz Arena with the offer of regular first-team football.

Shaqiri, whose contract expires in 2016, made only 17 Bundesliga appearances last season.

He enhanced his burgeoning reputation at the World Cup with a string of impressive showings, which included a hat-trick in Switzerland's 3-0 win against Honduras.
