It was recently reported by the Mirror that Liverpool had reopened talks with Lyon as they plan to reassess terms over their deal to sign Nabil Fekir.
However, these claims have since been refuted by Paul Joyce in a report for the Times, as it’s now stated that the Reds have not, in fact, resumed negotiations with Lyon.
Fekir was in line to join Liverpool for a deal worth an initial fee of £48.4 million in June, but this transfer collapsed as concerns were raised regarding the condition of the Frenchman’s knees.
Manchester United have since been linked with a move for the playmaker, but claims of Liverpool’s fresh talks with Lyon are understood by Joyce to be wide of the mark.
Fekir was believed to have had his heart set on a move to Liverpool after a lengthy period of speculation surrounding a move.
However, it seems that the Reds still have reservations over signing a player who has a track record of injury problems, with Jurgen Klopp set to look elsewhere for added attacking inspiration.
