Shaqiri has been given permission to travel to France to finalise the move.

Personal terms have also been agreed, with the 29-year-old set to sign a four-year deal with his new club.

The Reds had rejected an initial offer from Lyon worth £4m.

Signed from Stoke in 2018, Shaqiri scored eight goals in 63 games for the Merseyside giants.
