#4 Update on Fekir

Fekir wanted by PL clubs

While Liverpool was very close to signing him before the World Cup that he actually had a medical before the deal fell through, Manchester United too was also linked with the player a few days ago.

If it weren’t for a problem in his knee and some bucks, Fekir might already have been a Liverpool player.

However, Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas has hinted that his player might as well stay at Lyon for the upcoming season while also admitting that he did give him a chance to join the Merseyside outfit.

“I think that Nabil will be at Lyon next season. I basically have a father-son relationship with my players. I gave him the possibility to move to Liverpool because it was his dream club. I did the same with Tolisso and Umtiti. He is our captain and it is the coach’s desire to keep him,” he said.
