Liverpool's move for Nabil Fekir may be dead in the water, but some very interesting updates have continued to emerge over the past 24 hours.

It was previously thought that Lyon were the ones responsible for ending negotiations after they released a statement on Saturday.

In the statement, the French side said: "Olympique Lyonnais informs that the negotiations with Liverpool and Nabil Fekir for the transfer of the captain of OL have not succeeded.

"Olympique Lyonnais has decided to put an end to the negotiations tonight at 8pm.

Suddenly everyone was laughing at Liverpool, because reports from France then added that they tried to renegotiate a lower transfer fee but failed miserably.

Liverpool's supposed reasoning for trying to sign Fekir for less was because of concerns raised about the Frenchman's injury history during his medical on Friday.

Only part of that is true, though. Liverpool did have concerns but it turns out they were the ones who actually pulled out of the deal, which you can read all about here.

LIVERPOOL SAY NO TO FEKIR

It was Fekir's troubled right knee that raised some red flags for Liverpool and now L'Equipe have revealed a medical expert's opinion of it.

The physician said: "When we have an MRI of this type of case, the first thing we see are traces of ligament repair.

"In this case, what poses a problem no doubt, is the wear of cartilage. It's a risk factor. It can cause pain, functional issues and eventually a lesser resistance to impacts."

It's no wonder Jurgen Klopp pulled the plug on Fekir's move after learning the extent of the France international's knee problems.

At £53m Fekir represented a huge risk and Liverpool made the right decision to end their interest in a player who could re-injure his knee at any given moment.
