Inter Milan have reached agreement with Bayern Munich to take Xherdan Shaqiri on loan until the end of the season.

The Swiss attacker – who has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, and more recently Stoke – follows Arsenal’s Lukas Podolski to San Siro until the summer.

It is reported that the Nerazzurri must pay Bayern €2M for the privilege, and can snap up the 2014 World Cup star permanently if they fork out a further €12M.
