Lyon want sale decision for Liverpool target Fekir before World Cup

Olympique Lyon management want a decision from Liverpool target Nabil Fekir over his future before the World Cup.

L'Equipe reports OL are “aware" it will be difficult to keep the player should Liverpool or another of Europe's giants come calling, but they are “keen" to have the situation dealt with before the start of the World Cup in June.

Fekir has been included in France's squad for the tournament, and the same report adds that the attacking midfielder is pushing to have his future in order before jetting to Russia.

At this moment, however, Lyon have not received any concrete offers.

Earlier this month, Canal Plus reported Reds boss Jurgen Klopp met with Fekir personally this year to encourage him to move to Liverpool. A five-year deal for Fekir is on the table - with negotiations also including a transfer for his brother, Yassin, who would link up Liverpool's Under-23 squad.
