The FC crew analyse the major curveball thrown by Lyon as they ended negotiations with Liverpool over the transfer of Nabil Fekir.
Nabil Fekir's agent has told French TV the Lyon midfielder's transfer to Liverpool "is not finished."
Earlier this month, a Liverpool source told ESPN FC the club were confident of sealing a €60 million deal for the France midfielder, one of Lyon's standout performers as they finished third in Ligue 1.
However, Lyon then ended talks with the Champions League runners-up and released a statement saying they were "overjoyed that they can count on the presence of their captain, who will be a significant part of their 2018-19 season."
But agent Jean-Pierre Bernes said Fekir, on World Cup duty with France, could still end up at Anfield.
"Why hasn't he signed? Because it is not finished. The story is not finished," Bernes said.
