Nabil Fékir has an offer from Manchester United – Le Progrès

Lyon-based paper Le Progrès are reporting that club captain Nabil Fékir has an offer from Manchester United, but do not go into much detail at all about it.

The way that they frame it in this morning’s piece seems to be as if the Red Devils have made an offer to the player, rather than that any bid has been made or negotiations are occurring with Lyon.

The newspaper also quotes a source very close to the situation about why talks with Liverpool broke down:

“Liverpool decided to lower the price for Nabil by €5m, hiding behind a cartilage problem of the player’s knee, which was an old story and is not at all preventing him from playing in the World Cup.”
