The French midfielder almost signed for us a year back, but the Reds backed out of a deal due to a problem during the medical (h/t Liverpool Echo).

The Frenchman added that he doesn’t expect a huge fee for the 25-year-old, and confirmed there are talks with several parties:

“One year ago his price-tag was € 60 million and this season the price can’t be the same. We are talking with other clubs but I won’t reveal the details. We are speaking with people who are not in a hurry to close the deal because they want to do things properly.”

Milan planning to use a former Liverpool player to land Fekir

The report adds that AC Milan want to sign the Frenchman and are willing to send Suso the other way.

The Spanish midfielder couldn’t make it at Liverpool but has been great for the Italian giants over the past two seasons.

Milan missed out on the Champions League places last season while Liverpool should be a better prospect for Fekir as we won the title a few weeks ago.

The Reds can do with another attacker in the team, and if Fekir is available on the cheap, we should take a risk with his signing.
