Xherdan Shaqiri has returned to the USA. Last week, the star retired from the Swiss national team, started training again with his club Chicago Fire. "In very good physical condition," says Chicago athletic director Georg Heitz. Shaqiri's name was even on the list of contingents for the League Cup, but the striker failed to make the squad.
After an early exit from the North American club tournament, Chicago won't return to MLS until late August.
In fact, this is the perfect time to clarify Shaqiri's future. However, there has not yet been any contact between the player and the club regarding this. " Until now, no club or player has approached us to talk about the contract situation. We assume that Xherdan will fulfill the contract with us ", says Heitz.
But if Shaqiri wants to leave Chicago this summer, time is of the essence.
While it would be possible to terminate the contract at any time to find a replacement for the Swiss, Chicago only has one week left. In MLS, the transfer window closes on August 14.
After Shaqiri's public criticism of Chicago, there were many signs in recent weeks that he would soon be leaving MLS. Now the 125-time Swiss international can stay in the US until the end of the year. A return to Europe, which Shaqiri would like, would only be an issue once his contract expires in the winter.
For the brother and manager, Erdin Shaqiri, it is the last opportunity to participate again in a profitable transfer. This is precisely why a return to Basel still seems highly unlikely.
Because the Swiss team cannot keep up with the financial opportunities of other clubs.
