How Liverpool’s pursuit of Nabil Fékir broke down

Liverpool had concerns about the quality of the reconstruction of Nabil Fékir’s knee after his ACL injury in 2015, and used his medical results to attempt to renegotiate a deal with Lyon, that had made on Thursday, according to L’Équipe.

Lyon were “smarting” over Liverpool’s conduct & pulled the plug last night, as they confirmed in a statement and it is “difficult to imagine” how a deal will ever be done between LFC & Lyon for Fékir now.

Nabil Fékir had gone as far as choosing his Liverpool shirt number, before the deal collapsed.
