“It’s the Liverpool way”: Fans react in dismay as club confirms that top Reds target will stay put

The fact that Liverpool were gunning for a move to sign Lyon captain Nabil Fekir was no secret but after months of pursuit, the French outfit has pulled the plug on the deal.

, Fekir will not join Liverpool this summer and he will instead stay back with his current club. After bolstering our midfield department with the likes of Fabinho and Naby Keita, Fekir was being aggressively targetted to fill the void left behind by Philippe Coutinho.
