The brother and agent of Xherdan Shaqiri says the Stoke City winger could be tempted into a January switch to Serie A giants Roma.
Xherdan Shaqiri remains committed to Stoke City, but could entertain a January return to Serie A with Roma.
The Switzerland international has emerged as a target for the Giallorossi, according to several reports in Italy.
An early-season struggle, which Shaqiri has missed much of through injury, leaves Stoke languishing second from bottom in the Premier League after seven matches with the division's joint-lowest goal tally.
According to his brother, Shaqiri is determined to lead a change in fortunes at the Bet365 Stadium, but the overtures from the Italian capital - and a possible return to continental action - could prove too strong for the ex-Bayern Munich attacker.
