If Liverpool still want Nabil Fekir, he could be less costly.

Liverpool’s £53 million agreement for Nabil Fekir last summer barely lasted 24 hours.

The deal fell through, with both Lyon and Liverpool doing a U-turn, The Telegraph reported.

Now The Mirror report if Liverpool want to sign Fekir, this summer he will cost ‘much less’ than £53 million.

The report notes it is currently unclear if Liverpool plan to bid for the Frenchman.

Fekir is due to change agent later this month as part of the fallout of his collapsed transfer, The Mirror claims.

The attacking midfielder’s contract is set to expire in June 2020, which helps explain why Fekir’s price tag stands to drop.

His form this season has been solid, especially considering he missed pre-season due to World Cup involvement.

He has scored nine goals in 24 Ligue 1 games, providing five assists.

It is though less spectacular than his 18 goal and nine assist campaign of 2017/18, which also has prevented his price tag from escalating.
