Lyon sporting director speaks out on Nabil Fekir's future

Despite failing the move to Liverpool last summer, rumors still suggest that Lyon Olympique star Nabil Fekir could join Merseyside club this summer. According to reports, Jurgen Klopp is looking for a creative attacking midfielder and Fekir is among the candidates, alongside with Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Ceballos. France international's contract with Lyon is expiring next summer and the club would like to sell him now in order to make some cash and not lose Nabil on free terms. French side's sporting director Juninho Pernambucano has spoken out on Fekir's future: "It is hard for him (Fekir) to accept and understand that the best thing for his personal and professional life is to continue here. It's up to him to decide where he wants to go, but if he stays, we'll be happy". Bayern Munich are also interested in signing Fekir, but currently it is La Liga side Real Betis, that could sign the midfielder, if Giovanni Lo Celso leaves the club. Source - L'Equipe
