Nabil Fekir has given the clearest indication yet that he is set to leave Lyon this summer.
According to L’Equipe, the attacking midfielder has said that he isn’t Lyon’s player for life.
It has been suggested that Fekir has agreed a move to Liverpool for next season and although he didn’t say there had been talks with the Anfield club, he admitted he could say if he wanted to leave Lyon:
The president told me, like he told everyone else when they signed their contracts, that we have the possibility to talk whenever I want to leave. Nobody signs for life in a club. It doesn’t work like that.
Appointed captain last summer, the 24-year-old is on his way to firing Lyon into a Champions League return after scoring 22 goals and registering eight assists in 38 games for the club this season.
Despite rumours of a move to England, he was keen to say that he was still a Lyon player at the moment:
I don’t have a free pass to leave. I have a contract until 2020. I’ll let destiny handle the rest.
