The knee was a part of it, but not only that. He had passed a medical, done photos with the Reds shirt.Last week, Fekir opened up about his failed move to Anfield.Liverpool? he said. Its part of a players career, but it makes you stronger and you have to move forward. I really dont know what I will do [this summer] but as I said, I feel good in Lyon, the president trusts me, thats good. You will see [if I extend my contract].Liverpools midfield has been lacking in goals and assists this season, something Fekir would have brought, as they battle Manchester City for the Premier League title.They lead Guardiolas men by two points with five matches remaining, however, City have a game in hand.
