Judi Online - Stoke are battling to persuade Inter Milan star Xherdan Shaqiri to join them after agreeing a stunning £12million fee with his club.
Boss Mark Hughes outbid Everton for the 23-year-old Swiss international and the Potters are offering to make him their best-paid player, on £60,000-a-week, to persuade him to join.
But
Shaqiri has so far rejected it even though he is surplus to
requirements at the San Siro side, who recently splashed out over £20m
on fellow midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia of Monaco.
If they are able to convince him, the locals had better watch their backs - as he is plainly something of a prankster.
The below video emerged this week of Shaqiri disguising himself as an old man before unleashing his ball-skills on the unsuspecting members of a Swiss club's youth team.
Stoke missed out on Shaqiri in January, when the midfielder opted to join Inter from German giants Bayern Munich.
However, the player's agent Arber Sakiri said at the time: "Xherdan has been hugely impressed by Stoke City.
Bandar Bola - Stoke
had a certain reputation before, but it's clear Mark Hughes has changed
the club's outlook. Xherdan is aware Stoke do not play the type of
football they did a few years ago.
“He’s aware Bojan [Krkic, the
former Barcelona starlet Hughes signed last summer] is enjoying his
football and has settled in well there and has been talking highly of
the club.”
Hughes is a big fan of Shaqiri and tried on two
previous occasions to take the winger to the Britannia Stadium during
his time at Bayern.
Shaqiri only moved from the Germans in January and does not want to move again so soon into a four-and-a-half-year deal.
But
Inter are prepared to listen to offers for him as coach Roberto Mancini
sets about reshaping the side that finished eighth in Serie A last
season.
Elsewhere, Stoke's Asmir Begovic has rejected a new deal, with a a year left on his current contract, in favour of a switch to Chelsea.
However,
winger Victor Moses has turned down the chance to join the Potters -
who he played for last season on loan - as part of a deal for the keeper
after rival interest from Tottenham.
