# Liverpool reportedly agree deal to sign Nabil Fekir

Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement with Lyon over a deal to sign Nabil Fekir this summer.

According to claims from French news outlet RMC Sport, as cited by [GFFN](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2018/liverpool-reach-e70m-agreement-with-lyon-to-sign-nabil-fekir/), the Reds have agreed to pay a huge sum worth €70m to secure Fekir following an impressive season in Ligue 1.

Liverpool are yet to sign a replacement for Philippe Coutinho, with the Brazilian having joined Barcelona in January, but it seems Fekir is a top target ahead of the summer transfer window.

It’s claimed by RMC that negotiations have rapidly advanced in recent times, with it being stated that Fekir has already agreed to a five-year deal at Anfield.

Fekir has established himself as a talismanic figure for Lyon in recent seasons, with the 24-year-old midfielder enjoying arguably his best campaign to date for the club.

RMC state that former Reds boss Gerard Houllier was a key negotiator in the deal, with the Lyon advisor having spent some weeks in England to ensure that a transfer has been pushed over the line.
