Lyon midfielder Nabil Fekir is set to speak to Liverpool after their Champions League final meeting with Real Madrid.
According to reports in France, Fekir is edging closer to an Anfield move but will have wait until after the final to sit down with Jurgen Klopp.
Fekir has enjoyed the finest season of his career, leading his club to Champions League qualification and scoring 18 Ligue 1 goals.
Earlier this month, French journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin, claimed that Liverpool ‘will’ finalise a £61m deal for Fekir when the transfer window opens.
And the move now appears to be a step closer as L’Equipe reported on Monday:
Nabil Fekir will leave Lyon this summer. The interest of Liverpool has grown and the player is not immune to it. The Reds should contact Olympique Lyonnais to enter discussion after the Champions League final, in which they face Real Madrid on Saturday.
Fekir was recently asked if he believed tht he had played his final game for Lyon, to which he replied:
Maybe. Frankly, I don’t know. I spent an exceptional season here with the player, the fans and the staff. It ended beautifully. You have to pass a course, it’s true. I think I gave everything in Lyon. Now it’s time to look into the future.
