I think its half and half scenario . I believe he is interested in Liverpool and wants to play for Klopp after watching the kind of impact Mane and Salah made adapting to Klopp's attacking play . But he is loyal to Lyon and wouldn't mind representing them again next season and wants them to compensated heavily if he is sold .
There has been talks of interest from Bayern too although I am not sure how true they are but they do need to replace Robben and Ribery and Fekir can be a smart option for them . So if they are serious about him then they are a bigger attraction than Liverpool and he might weigh his options then . All in all I do believe Liverpool will be the ones signing him provided none of the big guns don't get involved .
Transfer ban!!
And it begins, from 52M€ in every news papers/website outside of the UK, to 53M£ in english news papers.
Just me or is Cillesen a tad underwhelming for Liverpool? From Allison to Cillesen is a big drop.
Yes, he isn't very good. Hopefully they sign him.
From Karius to Cillessen is an upgrade though. Not a big one but still
Reliable sources in Brazilian media(Globo Esporte) are saying its 55 million euros. It would be 48 millions in pounds.
Edit: ok mate.
I find the Bayern links fake and he has been a target for a long time for Liverpool. That's why the first statement.
Yeah that’s a fair assessment. I think we’ve been given an indication from Fekir’s camp that he’ll sign if we can agree a deal with Lyon.
I'm actually surprised they haven't add plane, train ticket, costs of medical, cost of announcement video, add ons, bonuses, and his wages for next five years + 1 optional in tweet.
Give them time.
Because it's win / win for selling teams. A good performance means more teams could come in, or the price can go up. A bad WC performance doesn't mean too much. I don't see why a team would sell before they go and perform at it.
They are like a monopoly in Brazil and agents will want to give them exclusives to gain prestige and influence. I would be very surprised if the deal is not close to 55 million euros as they said. Also i hate white texts. I bite two this week alone

Honestly, i think the Bayern rumours are put out by Lyon to get a better price. I'd be very surprised to see this transfer completed before the WC. As far as i understand Fekir usually plays an AMC(#10) role, whilst Robben/Ribery are wide forwards or wingers. Would not be an ideal player for player replacement for either. He might still be a target for Bayern of course ,but then i'd expect him to replace James Rodriguez, Müller or even Thiago(whom is rumoured to be available).

Sorry, I just love wt, specially when someone bites. Good for you week is over.I meant English press, they tend to blow up United's transfer fees.
Surely if Real sign Allison then Liverpool will go for Keylor Navas?
That makes much more sense for us than going for barca's back up.
Navas will not downgrade like that.
Oh please let that happen, it'll be a Bravo 2.0.
Unless the player gets injured at the World Cup, then they're stuck with a player that wanted to leave that they can't sell, and can't even play for them until he's fit again...
Thems the breaks. I still think it's much more worth it for selling teams.
I will be honest I haven't seen a lot of Fekir but from whatever I have seen he is everything I want Mata to be . He plays similar to Lingard in a way that he is roaming around but he gives more width from the right side than both Mata and Lingard . Also I noticed he is a good dribbler and very good in ball possession along with being a smart tackler although this point I noticed while watching a YouTube compilation . I dont think he would be a direct replacement for either Robben or Ribery since Coman and James Rodriguez are also there but he can certainly do a fine job from the right side of midfield with an explosive right back . He can actually be a interesting signing for us since he is more proper right sided than others but not exactly a winger still it will be great to watch something happening on our right side for a change . Also not to forget having both Pogba and Fekir in front of Matic would tire Matic in record time but still he would be a more shrewd option than SMS who is mostly left sided .
Don't you know when United are involved, the total cost of the player including his food, beverage, toilet paper, and anything he consumes over his time at the club will be included in the purchase price.
You forgot about doggie treats and dog kennels for Alexis
Wut? He's a great keeper.
Probably, but it's not completely a win - win, it comes with its own risks.
Another player in a similar position could also have a great tournament and become the new shiny toy everyone wants, pushing their player to the bottom of the pile.

Have you ever seen Navas play? He's actually good.
Then they keep the player, I see that as a win. There doesn't seem to be any players throwing the toys out of the pram to leave before the world cup either.
@Summit yeah he's a good goalkeeper and yes I've seen him play, but he won't hold up well in England, he'll be found out just like Bravo was, who was also a good goalkeeper in Spain, he's also too old to adapt like De Gea did (also De Gea is a few levels above Navas).
Yeah I think Navas would be a disaster over here too, at least for the first season. Don't think he suits England at all.
Split opinions it seems! He is only 31 and has bags of experience...has to be better than the two mugs they've got at the moment surely?
Underwhelming step in his career if it turns out to be true.

Navas would be a way better choice for Liverpool. He is really underestimated but stays a very strong goalkeeper, who give more confidence than Bravo did.
Anyway that new Real's interest also mean that Arrizabalaga who was promised to Real, will stay available. PSG, Tottenham, Liverpool or even Bvb and Arsenal should be interested.
About Fekir I wouldn't be surprise that his agent keeps looking for any other good opportunity but the real problem is that he can't suit with any type of formation and I'm not sure he is the type of players you change your team for. Besides the no-chance Real and City, it leaves Bayern and Juve as other options and to me, they are not better than Liverpool. Maybe Barcelona
