Here are the latest reports from England (and Europe) today.Liverpool fail to complete Nabil Fekir deal with LyonAfter days of negotiations and when a move seemed inevitable, Lyon pulled out of negotiations to deny Liverpool another midfield signing.A deal was in the works for the Anfield side to sign Nabil Fekir for a fee in the region of £52.75m (£48.35m paid up front plus £4.4m in add-ons). However, the Ligue 1 club took a U-turn on Saturday and released a statement saying Fekir was staying at the club.Nabil Fekir reste à l’OL https://t.co/RiE3st94Vq— Olympique Lyonnais (@OL) June 9, 2018"Although Liverpool has been the priority of a possible transfer of Nabil, and subject to other proposals consistent with the interest of Nabil and OL and from ambitious clubs, Olympique Lyonnais is delighted to be able to count on the presence of their captain this season 2018/2019 during which the club will play the Champions League..." - Lyon's official statement on ther club websiteJurgen Klopp had hoped to replace Philippe Coutinho with Fekir in midfield but L'Equipe claimed Liverpool tried to renegotiate the terms of the deal after issues with Fekir's medical. The 24-year-old had a knee reconstruction surgery after injuring his ACL in 2015.Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is not an easy man to negotiate with and he also tweeted that he was happy to see Fekir stay at the club.@ol @NabilFekir on t'aime Nabil allez la France allez l'OL— Jean-Michel AULAS (@JM_Aulas) June 9, 2018Translation: "We love you Nabil.
