AC Milan reportedly want to sign the Lyon ace who has allegedly been tracked by Liverpool for over a year.

According to a report from Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato, AC Milan are interested in signing long-term Liverpool target Nabil Fekir this summer.

The France international famously nearly joined the Reds last summer, only for his £53 million move to collapse at the last minute due to concerns over his fitness, according to the Telegraph.

Fekir was in scintillating form during the 2017/18 campaign, racking up 23 goals and eight assists in 40 appearances in all competitions, but he was nowhere near that level last term, chalking up 12 goals and nine assists in 39 outings.

He is still an exceptional talent, however, and it will be a shame for Liverpool to miss out on the play-maker.

Calcio Mercato claims that Lyon could sell Fekir, 25, for just €35 million (£31 million), and in today’s market, that would be a real steal.

It seems as though Liverpool have moved on and have different priorities now, however.

If Fekir rediscovers his best form in Italy though, they might just live to regret missing out on the Frenchman.
