Lyon plan to use Cornet cash to up bid for Liverpool attacker Shaqiri

Olympique Lyon need to sell to clinch the signing of Liverpool attacker Xherdan Shaqiri.

Lyon and Shaqiri have agreed personal terms and the French giants have been discussing a fee with Liverpool for several weeks.

Lyon's last offer was for €6m, while Liverpool have dropped their valuation from €15m to €14m.

Lyon remain eager to reach a deal with the Reds, but need to sell first to make an improved offer.

Maxwel Cornet is likely to be sacrificed, with the wing-back wanted by Burnley and Hertha Berlin.
