Nabil Fekir Doesn't Know Why Liverpool Transfer Failed, Says Knee Issues Made Up

Nabil Fekir has said he doesn't know why his 2018 transfer from Lyon to Liverpool didn't materialise, insisting any concern over the health of his knee was one of "lots of lies" made up around that time.

The Reds were understood to be close to signing Fekir for a fee of £53 million in June of last year. The player had even recorded an interview with Liverpool TV before issues with his medical report ended the deal.

Fekir, 26, joined Real Betis this past summer for less than half that fee (£22 million).
