Good news for Liverpool & Nabil Fekir as West Ham close in on Marcelo

Nabil Fekir & Marcelo

Ligue 1 club Lyon are gearing up for talks with two Premier League clubs, if the rumours this weekend are accurate.

Liverpool have been trying to sign Nabil Fekir for several weeks.

And with the World Cup on the verge of finishing, Lyon’s president has updated fans on Fekir’s possible Anfield switch.

At the same time West Ham United are gearing up for a move for Lyon left-back Marcelo.

Liverpool & Nabil Fekir

The big update on Nabil Fekir’s possible move from Lyon has been provided by OL president Jean-Michel Aulas.

As reported in Le 10 Sport, Aulas has dropped fresh hints that Fekir’s Liverpool move is on:

It seems to me that Liverpool could come back… That’s what I saw in the press, but I’m not informed.

(Nabil Fekir’s) transfer failed in June, but he is not affected. He is quite realistic, focused on his World Cup, and he still has the heart in Lyon.

Nabil is much closer to Lyon today than it was when we talked to Liverpool. Maybe he will go to Liverpool, or to another club, but if he stays at OL, it will be a great year for him and for us.

At the same time, Liverpool fans are sharing another update from a supposed Lyon ITK account, @AO69OL.

@AO69OL have claimed that Fekir is set to leave Lyon to join Liverpool. Liverpool are expected to pay 60 million euros for Fekir, while the Reds will also agree to future add-ons.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Info : #Liverpool souhaiterait étaler le financement du transfert de Nabil #Fekir sur plusieurs années ce dont pour le moment @JM_Aulas n'accepte pas, il serait favorable à un paiement sur 2 saisons mais pas au delà. Ça sera tendu mais ça va se conclure. #LFC #OL https://t.co/Eh5lSlQEMA — AL69OL (@AO69OL) July 14, 2018

West Ham close in on Marcelo

West Ham United have been signing players left, right and centre this summer.

And according to reports out of France, the Hammers could land Lyon left-back Marcelo.

As reported by Foot Mercato, while West Ham are yet to lodge an official bid for Marcelo, the Irons are lining up a 15 million euro bid.

Marcelo is supposedly keen on moving to the Premier League.

@AO69OL claim that Marcelo may sign a 5-year deal with West Ham with wages of three million euros a season.

🚨🚨🚨 Une grosse offre est bien arrivée sur la table. Comme l'a indiqué @JM_Aulas , il rencontrera Marcelo Guedes lundi, ce dernier a en main une proposition contractuelle de West Ham de 5 ans et un salaire net de 3M€ par an. #OL #TeamOL https://t.co/jizuh18NHy — AL69OL (@AO69OL) July 14, 2018
