Lyon president provides update on Nabil Fekir

Lyon’s club president, Jean Michel-Aulas, has provided an update on Nabil Fekir’s future.

Fekir was almost a Liverpool player until the move broke down earlier this month, and he’s now being linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Liverpool are also still considered a chance to sign the Frenchman, but Michel-Aulas has stated they do not need to sell their prized asset.

“I spoke with Nabil Fekir the day after the night when we decided to stop negotiations with Liverpool,” said Michel-Aulas, as quoted by The Liverpool Echo.

“He was very calm. I immediately said to him that if he wanted to stay, we could do an extension.

“I’ve said it before, we don’t need to sell.

“We have the capacity to keep Fekir. The current plan is to let nobody leave to have the best team possible and to make signings as previously planned.”
