United table offer for Liverpool target Nabil Fekir

Manchester United have table an offer for Liverpool target Nabil Fekir, according to reports.

The Lyon star was reportedly close to joining Liverpool in a £60 million deal earlier this month, however his proposed move to Anfield broke down with reports suggesting the Reds detected a problem with the player’s knee during his medical.

Subsequent to Fekir’s failed move to Anfield, Lyon revealed the France international would remain in Ligue 1 next season.


However French paper Le Progres claim Lyon will still sell a number of their biggest stars this summer including Fekir, and that Manchester United could be ready to capitalise on Liverpool’s failure to complete a move for the 24-year-old.

“For Nabil, offers are not lacking. The latest comes from Manchester United,” the report from the French newspaper says.

Lyon president Jean-Michael Aulas also confirmed United’s interest in Fekir, saying: “I was with Jose Mourinho the other day. We had long discussions.

“Personally, I am no longer in discussions with Liverpool. At the moment, we are waiting for France and Nabil to have a fantastic World Cup.”

Fekir joined Lyon in 2011 as a youngster, and has since made 153 appearances for Les Gones, scoring 57 goals – 23 of which came last season.
