Xherdan Shaqiri has taken to social media to deny that he is set to leave Bayern Munich for Liverpool or Juventus.

Italian media quoted Shaqiri last week as saying he would be interested in a move to the Turin giants.

But the Swiss international claims that he is currently on holiday and has not spoken to any other clubs, nor any journalists, about his situation.

Shaqiri claims that he is in regular contact with Bayern, but that he has a contract until 2016 and expects to remain in Munich for the time being.

He wrote on Facebook: "It is the time of year when much is written, but as we all know, there is very little truth behind it.

"As you all know I am currently on holiday so I am not in talks with other clubs nor have I spoken with any journalists.

"I have a contract with FC Bayern until 2016.

"My advisors are in regular contact with the responsible people at FC Bayern so there is no reason for speculation."

It now remains to be seen whether either Liverpool and Juventus step up their interest in Shaqiri once he is back from holiday.
