Despite seeing a move to Liverpool collapse at the last moment, Lyon midfielder Nabil Fekir could yet revive negotiations with the Merseyside club, according to the club’s president. The 24-year-old forward is currently part of Didier Deschamps’ France squad at the World Cup but his club future remains unresolved after a pre-tournament move to was halted.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas claimed the Ligue 1 side gave the ‘green light’ for a move to Anfield but after negotiations dramatically collapsed, Fekir’s availability has peaked the interest of Real Madrid.
‘Nothing is ever completely over in the footballing world. Personally, I am no longer in discussions with Liverpool. The fact that things didn’t conclude with Liverpool and it didn’t happen in that time-frame has peaked the interest of a lot of other clubs, Real Madrid – but not just Real Madrid – and their new coach (Julen Lopetegui).’ Aulas said.
