Dont think his wages were reduced when he moved to Stoke.

After being asked on TV why Nabil Fekir didn't sign for Liverpool.

His agent said. " It's not over"

Knowing Aulas, I would be very surprised if he reduces the fees or agree to include conditions, unless there is a big risk and agrees he has been found out. The only other possibility is that Fekir forces the issue, but I don't think he would be happy to do it based on his problematic knee. I feel it is over. The agent wants to sell to anybody else for him to get his commission. Anyway, looks like the saga will drag.

Well if France and Fekir don’t light up their World Cup campaign, it may just force Aulas’ hand.

Not really. After qualifying for CL, he doesn't need the money. It will cost him as much to replace Fekir.

Unless Fekir force a move to us, which will be a step up for him.

Fekir's knee injury was well known before we went in for him, plus subsequent additional injuries, so it seems a bit ham fisted to be arguing about fitness injuries now, after the announcement video was shot and a jersey number allocated!!also there was a difference of medical opinion on the seriousness of the injury, all very strange.

When you pay £50+ million for a player, the medical people will be looking at his fitness over the length of his contract, which could be 5 years, so they might say he's fine now, but there could be degenerative damage to the knee that in the next few years could cause problems/weaken the knee, that level of detail would only come out in a full medical with X-rays etc, sometime you take a risk, like Man Utd did with Van Nistelrooy, which worked out well for them.

This affects getting medical insurance etc, so it's important for the club/business, as he's a 50 million asset.

And if we’d bought him and his knee went in a week you’d moan then too. Can’t win really.
