The Swiss inernational only joined the Nerazzurri in January, but struggled to break into Roberto Mancini’s team toward the end of the season.

Now Gianluca Di Marzio’s website is reporting that the two clubs have reached an agreement over a €17m [£12m] deal, representing a €2m profit on the €15m the Beneamata are believed to have paid six months ago.

The deal now hinges on whether Shaqiri will accept the move to England, which may prove a stumbling block, as he’s made it clear he wants to stay at San Siro.
