Liverpool is expected to finalise the £60m deal to have move for Lyon attacker Nabil Fekir after this weekend’s Champions League final against Real Madrid.
Reports in France earlier this week suggested that a deal to take the 24-year-old to Anfield is now “99% complete”.
It has been reported that Liverpool will get a transfer over the line next week, kickstarting a big summer of spending for Jurgen Klopp.
Fekir has scored 27 goals across his 30 outings this term, helping Lyon earn a spot in the Champions League and earning links to a number of heavyweight clubs.
Les Gones’ president Jean Michel Aulas had been reluctant to offload his prized asset, but Liverpool have forced his hand by offering £60m and hope to have the France international in their ranks by this time next week.
