Manchester City have reportedly joined the race for long-term Liverpool target Nabil Fekir, ahead of the Frenchman’s inevitable Lyon departure this summer.
The World Cup winner was close to moving to Anfield last summer in a deal worth more than £50million, but the transfer fell through at the final hurdle due to the results of a medical.
Fekir has confirmed he intends to leave Lyon this summer though, which has seemingly placed some of Europe’s top clubs on red alert.
According to Express Sport, Man City have asked the Ligue 1 club to be kept updated about Fekir’s situation over the transfer window.
Pep Guardiola is interested in bolstering his midfield options while Jurgen Klopp remains keen on the 25-year-old, but has reservations over his valuation due to a history of knee problems.
City are at risk of losing both Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane this summer, so you’d only imagine the Premier League champions making a move for Fekir if one or the other does depart.
It’d be hard to turn down the newly-crowned European champions, though…
