Nabil Fekir's agent Jean-Pierre Bernes insists the Lyon captain could still join Liverpool this summer.

The France international's £53million move to Anfield dramatically collapsed when on the brink of completion earlier this month.

However, Bernes has indicated that the deal for the attacking midfielder could be revived after the World Cup finals in Russia.

Asked on French TV channel LCI on Monday night why Fekir didn't join Liverpool , he said: “He didn't sign because um... it is not over! This is not the end of the story.”

Liverpool sought a second opinion after his medical raised concerns over an old knee injury.

Initially, the Reds looked set to proceed with the transfer having already thrashed out a deal with Lyon and agreed a five-year contract with the player.

However, just hours away from an expected announcement, Liverpool ultimately decided it was too big a risk considering the size of the outlay.

Lyon insisted they weren't willing to renegotiate and released a statement stating that they had put an end to negotiations.

Fekir came off the bench in France's 2-1 win over Australia on Saturday and is likely to be back in action against Peru on Thursday.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas claims he will stay with the club next season but Bernes' comments suggest that the saga could still be re-ignited.
