France international forward Nabil Fekir has convinced Ligue 1 giants
Lyon to re-open transfer talks with Liverpool after meeting with the
club president Jean Michel Aulas in Russia, according to reports.
The Merseyside Reds pulled the plug on a £53million deal before the
tournament in Russia after concerns were raised about Frenchman’s knee
and Lyon refused to lower their price.
The 24-year-old forward is still desperate to join Klopp at Anfield
and told Aulas this over two meetings in Russia, according to the
Mirror.
The French forward begged Aulas to reconsider and Ligue 1 giants Lyon have now told Fekir they will re-open talks with him.
Liverpool may be interested in coming to the agreement to pay Fekir’s
transfer fee over a five-year period, in line with the playmaker’s
contract.
Aulas has a reputation as one of the most stubborn negotiators in Europe but has already begun to soften his stance.
And Lyon are already thinking about replacements for Frenchman should he sign for Liverpool.
Ligue 1 giants will move for Ajax attacking midfielder Hakim Ziyech
as Fekir’s replacement, however, he will not do so until the switch to
Anfield is finalised.
