Bayern Munich have reached an agreement to send winger Xherdan Shaqiri to Inter Milan. All the sides must do is finish the paperwork to complete the move.

Inter confirmed a deal was in place:

Fabrizio Romano of Sky Sport provided some further information about the transfer:

Shaqiri is a promising player who enjoyed some initial success after joining Bayern from Basel. His playing time has dropped off this term, however. Only three of his 13 appearances across Bundesliga and Champions League play have been starts.

The 23-year-old Switzerland international has scored two goals and tallied two assists in those matches. He’s struggled to find top form given the lack of consistent match action, though. It’s always a concern while playing on a squad with as much talent as the Bavarians.

He should move into a more regular role with Inter. The side has underperformed so far this season, sitting near the middle of the Serie A pack as the halfway mark nears. As a result, the Nerazzurri came into the January window looking for players who could provide a spark.

Shaqiri certainly fits the bill with terrific pace and distribution ability. With regular playing time in Milan, don’t be surprised to see the talented Swiss resume his rise to stardom at the San Siro.
