Nabil Fekir finally responded to his failed Liverpool transfer

Lyon manager Bruno Genesio has revealed that Nabil Fekir is still struggling to face the reality and admit his failed transfer to Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp had sanctioned a £60million deal for the 25-year-old identifying him as a replacement for Phillippe Coutinho. However, the transfer collapsed in unknown circumstances and his knee injury played a major role. Chelsea were also chasing Fekir but there were no official talks. ‘It is never easy accepting this kind of situation, when you are very near to signing for a club where you want to go,’ Genesio told reporters. ‘Where you want to reach another level and to give a boost to your career. ‘But as I said, it could have been worse for him. He is at Lyon, at a strong club, he is captain of a team who plays in the Champions League.’
