He was regarded as one of Europe's premier young talents after his stunning exploits with Basel as a teenager. Bayern Munich signed Xherdan Shaqiri in 2012 when he was just 20. Though he made 26 appearances in his debut season, Pep Guardiola arrival did not work well for him. Despite his great skill sets, he was still young and struggled for consistency.
The German tabloid Bild claimed that "Shaqiri was not intelligent enough for Guardiola’s type of football and the coach persisted in his selections of Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben despite their advancing years."
He was only 23 when he left Bayern and went on to play brilliantly for Stoke City in the Premier League. His stunning form has resulted in a move to Liverpool this July.
