Nabil Fekir finally reveals who is to blame for his failed Liverpool move in 2018

Liverpool were on the cusp of signing Nabil Fekir in 2018, but the move fell through, with some reports suggesting he failed a medical.

Three years after the transfer drama, the 28-year-old has finally shed light on the reasons behind the deal not happening.

"It was a dark moment," Fekir told The Times.

"I saw plenty of things which weren’t true. It was said the knee stopped me going to Liverpool but that wasn’t true.

"I went to Clairefontaine, and they did all the proof and the knee was fine.

"I had a problem with my agent, my adviser. It was the agent responsible for the deal not going through.

“Of course I was disappointed not to go to Liverpool, very disappointed because Liverpool are a great club."

Liverpool were about to sign the playmaker for £53m but he ended up staying at Lyon for a further year, joining Real Betis for £17.7m in 2019.
