The Reds have been chasing Shaqiri since last January and the 22-year-old confirmed they made a concrete offer for him before the World Cup, only for Bayern to reject the proposal.
Now, however, with his contract running down, Shaqiri is willing to listen to offers outside the Bundesliga but did not rule out staying at Munich.
"Liverpool made a bid for me before the World Cup but Bayern put their foot down and told me, 'We're not going to sell you'," he said.
"My contract runs until 2016 and I could possibly extend it.
"I will consider my decision during the winter break."
Liverpool first showed their interest in Shaqiri in late January.
But a £20million deal never materialised, despite the pre-Brazil 2014 bid, as Bayern concluded their transfer business way before deadline day.
Come January, however, the German champions may be tempted to cut ties with their Swiss international and Liverpool, balancing a Premier League title race with Champions League fixtures, will be waiting to make another offer.
Shaqiri excelled at the World Cup this summer, bagging three goals for Switzerland, who face England on Monday night in their first Euro 2016 qualifier.

That's according to Belgian media outlet HLN.be, who cite local Dutch newspaper the Eindhoven Dagblad when confirming that the 18-year-old's current deal at the Philips Stadion expires next summer, and manager Phillip Cocu has been trying for months to get the talented teenager to pen an extension.
However, Bakkali has been biding his time amid reported interest from a host of top European clubs; a move that now looks to have backfired after PSV lost patience with the talented teenager.
Described as the 'next Eden Hazard' in his homeland, Bakkali has attracted admiring glances from the Premier League, with Louis van Gaal, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers all among the player's growing list of suitors, according to the Daily Star.
A move to England appeared increasingly likely after PSV withdrew their offer of a new contract last week, and the latest development will almost certainly push the youngster out of the club when the transfer window reopens in January.

If Robbie went then he'd be a yes man who would be sacked by xmas.
