Whether Liverpool still want the Frenchman is unknown, but it’s now being reported that Lyon will offer Fekir a new deal.

Lyon’s club president Jean-Michel Aulas was quoted saying the following: “I never felt like he wanted to leave us. We do not need to sell. We are going to be playing in the Champions’ League and our footballing ambitions are already a strong argument. I am not worried about either Nabil or Marcelo (wanted by West Ham)… The English have money, but so do we.”
