Nabil Fekir has not had talks with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp – and dreams of featuring again for Lyon in the Champions League.

Fekir has been heavily linked with a summer move to Anfield with reports in France over the weekend claiming the Reds had concluded a £60million deal for the 23-year-old attacking midfielder.

Liverpool have distanced themselves from such speculation, although rumours intensified when Sadio Mane welcomed a possible move for the player.

However, Fekir's father, Mohamed, has dismissed talk of a deal and denied the player has even been on Merseyside.

“Nabil in Liverpool, that's wrong,” he said, speaking to Olympique-et-lyonnais.com.

“I hear there are arrangements, stuff like that... I was surprised.

“I can deny this information right now: it's not true. Otherwise Nabil would have told me right away, we are very close.”

Of suggestions the player had held talks with Reds boss Klopp, Fekir's father added: “I can guarantee you that he never met him.

“His dream is to play in the Champions League with his boyhood club.”

France international Fekir made five appearances for Lyon in the Champions League group stages last season.

Lyon are currently on course to qualify for the competition next season, standing in second place in Ligue 1 with two games remaining.
