BAYERN HOPES TO SWAP SHAQIRI FOR ATLETICO MADRID STAR

Bayern Munich may swap Swiss international Xherdan Shaqiri for Atletico Madrid rising star Koke.

It is understood that Bayern boss Pep Guardiola has been a long admirer of the Spainish ace and is willing to lure him to the Allianz Area.

Koke, 21, has been on great form for Atletico Madrid. The young midfielder has been a great contributor to Diego Simeone’s style of play, assisting the forwards with scintillating passes and wonderful midfield display.

His form has caught the eyes of top Clubs like Manchester United and Barcelona. Manchester United boss David Moyes hopes to solve the problem in his midfield.

Barcelona hope to have a better deal with Atletico Madrid in letting David Villa go the other way, but Bayern may well snatch the talented midfielder with a swap deal of a very stylish player like Shaqiri.
