The journalist tweeted that Klopp wants to buy the 25-year-old from the Ligue 1 giants and the Reds have already offered Fekir a contract worth €4m a season.
The tweet claimed that Jean-Micheal Aulas wants at least €50m for the 25-year-old. Fekir enjoyed another decent season with Lyon as he helped them finish third in Ligue 1.

The Frenchman was close to joining Liverpool last season but we backed out of a deal during the player’s medical (h/t Liverpool Echo).
The 25-year-old has just one year left on his current deal, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up next season.
Fans don’t see a deal happening
Fekir was close to being a Red last summer but we did really well without him. We just missed out on the Premier League title but lifted the Champions League trophy.
The 25-year-old could provide more attacking prowess to the Reds, and he would be a great signing if we could get him on the cheap.
Many fans did not believe the Reds would pay €50m for Fekir or that a deal would even take place.
No way is Aulas getting €50m for Fekir who’s on his last year of his contract. No way.!

Okay well Fekir leaves on a free. No one pays that for him when he’s in last year 😂. Even @JM_Aulas knows that.

Somebody would be stupid to pay €50m for him. Fantastic player and I’d love him at Liverpool but he’s in the final year of his contract.
