Liverpool will not announce the signing of Nabil Fekir from Lyon until after 5pm this evening, Daily Star reports
It was reported yesterday the Reds had reached an agreement for the France international.
Liverpool are expected to pay up to £53m for Fekir, with an initial fee of approximately £48m.
Get French Football explained on social media why that might be the case.
They said: “French stock market regulations state that a listed company, like Groupe OL, cannot release “important” information when the market is open.
That means any possible Nabil Fekir to Liverpool announcement will not occur before 17:00 English time, when the French stock market closes.
