Real Madrid to sign Liverpool top target, World class midfielder wants to join Barcelona, and more La Liga news - 24th December 2018

#3 Nabil Fekir to join Real Madrid?

Fekir was linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer

Liverpool signed several top players prior to the season, signing the likes of Fabinho, Naby Keita, Alisson, and Xherdan Shaqiri, all of whom have gone on to make a huge impact in the Merseyside club's great start to the Premier League.

One player that they missed out on in the summer was Nabil Fekir, who was part of France's World Cup-winning squad over the summer. Fekir was closing on a move to Liverpool only for the deal to fall flat in the end. It seems that Liverpool may miss out on him once again as Real Madrid are interested in the Lyon attacking midfielder, as per Marca. Chelsea are also reportedly interested in the French attacking midfielder.

The Frenchman's contract at Lyon expires in 2020, so the French side will have to sell him in January or over the summer or he will be allowed to leave on a free transfer. Fekir has scored 4 goals and completed 2 assists in Ligue 1 for Lyon so far this season.
