The former agent of Nabil Fekir has suggested the Real Betis midfielder isn’t being entirely truthful about why his proposed move to Liverpool fell through last summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fekir came close to joining Liverpool from Lyon before the start of last season but the Merseysiders called off the deal because of a long-standing knee problem, it is believed.<\/p>\n

Why did Fekir’s Liverpool move fall through? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • A failed medical\u00a0was initially to blame for Fekir’s transfer to Liverpool collapsing last summer.<\/li>\n
  • But the player himself claims there is no problem with his knee and that wasn’t the reason.<\/li>\n
  • Fekir’s agent at the time has now suggested his former client’s knee was indeed an issue.<\/li>\n
  • The agent also believes a “foreign pseudo-representative” tried to re-negotiate Fekir’s terms at the last minute.<\/li>\n
  • Fekir has scored two goals in three La Liga games since joining Real Betis this summer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
