A lot of speculation and conjectures are surrounding the French attacker, Nabil Fekir, who has made headline news all around Liverpool. The World Cup winner is regarded as one of the most dangerous attackers on the planet and has been on Liverpool's radar ever since Coutinho departed to Barcelona.
His initial negotiations with Liverpool were an instant hit and suggested his move to Anfield was nothing short of a formality. However, despite agreeing on personal terms and fulfilling contractual agreements, the French sensation failed a medical, as per reliable publications.
Considering Fekir had some issues with his knee, Liverpool contacted the concerned authorities in Lyon to renegotiate the deal and cut-short his price. With all the fuss that was created, Lyon, unfortunately, backed out of the move and didn't agree to sell the 25-year old to his dream-club.
Despite the move being ruled out multiple times, legions of Liverpool fans are expecting the French sensation to make the transition. Since there are various rumors swirling around about his future, there are many significant reasons as to why Nabil Fekir could still end up being a Liverpool player.
So, without further ado, let's dive deep and give all Liverpool fans the necessary reasons they desperately want to hear.
#1 He was Klopp's main target ever since Coutinho left
Ever since Coutinho made the dream transition to FC Barcelona, the Liverpool team has been left with a void on the attacking side. Regardless of the thunderous counter-attacks made by Firmino, Mo Salah, and Sadio Mane, the side lacks depth in the attacking position.
Since Jurgen Klopp wanted to improve the side by bringing more talented players, the name of Nabil Fekir was constantly being thrown into the hat. There were many reliable publications that were reporting that a deal was imminent, and would be finalized after the Champions League Final, which Liverpool unfortunately lost.
Oxlade Chamberlain's devastating injury in the Champions League semi-final felt like a huge blow to the Reds, and considering that the staff knew that the England attacker won't be available for the next season, Fekir became even more significant.
However, nobody knows what really transpired when the deal fell through. The personal terms were agreed with the player, but despite the deal eventually falling flat, the German coach has not brought any replacement.
If the deal was indeed dead, why didn't Liverpool moved on and considered bringing other prolific performers like Draxler or Pulisic, who could play similar positions?
Nabil Fekir is the talk of the transfer town, and if Klopp hasn't tried to replace Coutinho yet, then it means that there is more to the story than meets the eye.
The Frenchman is still the main target.
#2 Lyon's President never denies Liverpool's interest
Jean-Michel Aulas, the president of Olympique Lyonnais, continues to make statements on Fekir's future but without any significant substance. One significant element of note, however, is the fact that the French businessman never denied Liverpool's interest in Lyon's captain.
Despite claiming that the French sensation would stay with Lyon, the President contradicts his own statement by not providing any firm answer to the situation. Alas, while speaking to a French publication, the president revealed that Liverpool is Nabil Fekir's dream club. He went on to say that there is no certainty over the World Cup winner's future, and if a deal is not cracked by the end of July, then the player would stay with Lyon.
Considering how important Fekir is to Lyon, the president never puts out a firm statement on his future and has continued to give away deadlines to the authorities interested in Fekir's services. While there may not be significant evidence on the situation, Fekir's recent altercation with a fan during his holiday has provided an update which could be genuine.
If the French sensation definitely has his heart set on a move to Anfield, then Liverpool could be willing to strike a deal again to claim his services.
Who better than Nabil Fekir to admit that he could be making his transition to his dream-club? Time will now tell.
#3 His undeniable talent could be necessary for Liverpool to win the EPL
Many media publications have reported that Alisson's record-breaking signing has decided Fekir's fate and has put a full-stop to his possible future at Anfield.
However, the transfer window is still alive and kicking. There is always a possibility that the negotiations could be made again and a deal could be restructured to bring the player aboard.
Liverpool has become one of the most dangerous teams on the planet, with exceptional performances on European nights. Players such as Keita, Fabinho, Shaqiri, and Alisson joining the revolution makes this a side that could be destined for greatness.
Considering that the team would make necessary decisions to elevate the stature of the club, bringing Nabil Fekir in would guarantee them a title shot.
This Liverpool team could be the very best assembled team in club's history and if Fekir is added to the squad, the team could propel to unimaginable heights.
