The hottest transfer news concerning Liverpool is the move for Nabil Fekir from Lyon. The forward left the French training camp mysteriously this weekend fueling rumors on an imminent transfer to Anfield. The Express are reporting today that a deal is close and that Liverpool want it tied up before the World Cup.

Another potential departure is Daniel Sturridge who has suffered with injuries over the last few seasons. A loan move to West Brom didn’t work out as he was injured for most of his time as the Baggies were relegated. Sturridge has become the focus of Besiktas supporters who are spamming his social media accounts with comments to convince him to come to Turkey.

News of potential interest from Real Madrid for Sadio Mane has been addressed by journalists close to the club who say there is no scenario where Liverpool will sell the star forward. Too right, Jurgen.
