🚨🗣️ Nabil Fekir finally speaks on why his £52.8m move to Liverpool collapsed in 2018: “People have discussed that transfer for years, and honestly, it was one of the most painful moments of my career. I was so close to becoming a Liverpool player. I had spoken with Jürgen Klopp, agreed personal terms and even completed an interview with the club’s media team. I was already imagining myself at Anfield. “Then everything changed. People immediately started talking about my knee, but there were things happening behind the scenes that the public never fully understood. My former agent and the involvement of another representative complicated negotiations. Liverpool had medical concerns, but the situation was much bigger than people were led to believe. “I was disappointed because I knew what Klopp wanted to build and I would have been a former Red like Gerrard. He made me feel important. He spoke about my qualities, how I could play between the lines, create chances and combine with Salah, Mané and Firmino. Imagine that front four! I genuinely believed we could achieve something extraordinary together. “I have always maintained that my knee was fine. I had worked incredibly hard to return from my previous injury, and I was playing at a very high level. I don’t want people to remember me as the player whose knee stopped him from joining Liverpool. “Eventually, I joined Real Betis. I enjoyed my football in Spain, but there will always be a question about what might have happened if that Liverpool move had gone through. “I RESPECT #LFC, I RESPECT KLOPP, AND I WILL ALWAYS WONDER WHAT WE COULD HAVE ACHIEVED TOGETHER. SOME TRANSFERS FAIL, BUT SOME MISSED OPPORTUNITIES STAY WITH YOU FOREVER.”
