Liverpool target is now turning his attention to the World Cup.
After coming close to signing for Liverpool, Nabil Fekir has switched his attention to the World Cup.
BBC Sport reported Fekir was on the brink of signing for the Reds on Friday, before the deal collapsed with Lyon insisting he is not for sale.
Fekir is shifting his focus away from his future, and has now flown out to Russia with the France squad.
Liverpool’s hopes of signing Fekir are not over, but for now they are certainly on ice.
The Reds will likely now have to wait until after the tournament if they still have a chance at all, and his market value could inflate with strong performances in Russia.
Surrounded by his 22 international teammates, Fekir is clearly feeling positive despite the breakdown of a life altering transfer.
He will have to focus to be at his best to earn and keep a place in France’s competitive XI, and that will mean forgetting about Liverpool for the time being.
The Reds must decide whether they can afford to wait, or try and find a more immediately available alternative.
