Liverpool have resumed talks with Lyon over a possible deal for Nabil Fekir, according to John Richardson of The Mirror.
A reported £53million move for the French international fell through prior to the World Cup after Liverpool apparently identified some possible issues during his medical.
Liverpool’s medical team, who flew out to France to help complete a deal, were reportedly unhappy about the condition of Fekir’s knee, which he had injured a few years earlier.
It looked like any possible deal was dead, even though the player had already conducted his welcome interview with LFCTV. However, according to Richardson, in the last few days, talks between Liverpool and Lyon have resumed with all parties involved hoping to get a deal done.
Fekir apparently has his heart set on a move to Liverpool, where he would be an ideal replacement for Philippe Coutinho who left in January.
Lyon are willing to sell their captain at the right price, but it remains to be seen if they can do a deal with the Reds.
