Lyon captain Nabil Fekir has informed the club owner that he wishes to join Liverpool this summer.
The French international had his medical with the Reds earlier in the summer but the move broke down because of concerns surrounding the player’s knee.
Later, Lyon confirmed that the deal has been called off because Liverpool took too long to finalise the formalities.
Now it seems that the move could be resurrected after the World Cup.
