The current market value of Xherdan Shaqiri in this modern era of football is a very low price. Shaqiri is still at Stoke City despite the Potters getting relegated last month in the English Premier League.
The Swiss international was expected to be one of the first to walk out of the Bet365 Stadium but over a month after the league season finished, Shaqiri is still there. This may all come down to the World Cup taking place only weeks after the club season had wrapped up.
But so far Shaqiri has proved to be a vital part of the Switzerland team as they qualified into the last 16 and will next face Sweden in the knockout stages. A win would see them through to the quarter-finals.
The last time the Swiss reached the quarter-finals stage at a World Cup was way back in 1954 along with 1934 and 1938. Shaqiri’s highlight in Russia so far was scoring the last minute winner against Serbia to keep their chances alive to finish in the top two of Group E.
