Fekir revelation

Former agent of Lyon star Nabil Fekir, Jean-Pierre Bernes, has stated that his former client was very close to signing for Liverpool. Bernes stated that Fekir’s knee wasn’t the only problem with the deal.

He added that the truth about his failed move might be known someday and also revealed that the Frenchman has already passed the medical and also posed for photos in a Liverpool shirt.

When asked if his former client will stay at Lyon, Bernes said: “It is not about staying here."

“And we will know maybe the real circumstances that prevented Fekir’s move to Liverpool.

“The knee was a part of it, but not only that. He had passed a medical, done photos with the Reds shirt…”

The way Liverpool have been playing this season, it could be stated that they are really missing the Frenchman after all and might actually be better off without him.
