LIVERPOOL have yet to agree a fee with Lyon for Nabil Fekir, according to the player’s agent.
Reports claimed over the weekend that a deal was in place for French international and the 24-year-old would complete his move to Anfield before the World Cup.
However, his representative Jean-Pierre Bernes says talks are continuing between the two clubs.
He told Le Progres: “We will go with Nabil to Liverpool or elsewhere, only when there will be an agreement with the Lyon and they me the green light.
“Liverpool’s interest exists, but for now, there is nothing done and other clubs can also happen.
“This transfer window can be long.”
Liverpool are keen to get the transfer sorted quickly but Lyon’s president Jean-Michel Aulas appears to be in no hurry.
And he knows the midfielder’s value could rocket if he produces the goods for Les Bleus in Russia this summer.

“We always try to go in the direction of the players. We will listen carefully. We will probably know more after the World Cup.

“But for the moment, he is from Lyon and we are very proud of him.
“I do not have an appointment with the leaders of Liverpool. There is no urgency at all. We are perfectly serene.
“If Nabil wants to play the Champions League in Groupama Stadium next year, we will be delighted.”
A figure of £60m has been mooted for Fekir.
However, Liverpool are believed to half offered a structured deal that has not yet tempted Lyon to cash in.
