Lyon manager Sylvinho has dropped an update on Nabil Fekir's future

Lyon manager Sylvinho has confirmed that Nabil Fekir is close to leaving the club as Fekir has already been long linked with a move away from Ligue 1 side. The player was being linked with a move to Liverpool, however the deal never happened and Fekir is now expected to join La Liga side Real Betis. “It’s very likely, he negotiates his transfer, we do not know when we will be fixed but, for him as for the club, the best would be that it happens as soon as possible,"  Sylvinho told France Football. (via Mirror) “He is a wonderful player, a very high level footballer, just seeing him drive the ball to training is a joy, and I take this opportunity to publicly wish him a happy birthday. Of course we will miss him.” Football Espana reports that Real Betis have provisionally agreed to sign Lyon captain for €25m on a five year deal.
