Lyon calls fake news on fekir move to liverpool
It seems like there's been a bit of a controversy brewing!
For those who may not know, Lyon's midfielder Nabil Fekir was reportedly close to joining Liverpool in July 2019, but the deal ultimately fell through. Since then, there have been rumors and speculation about the reasons behind the collapse of the transfer.
Now, it appears that Lyon's president, Jean-Michel Aulas, has taken to social media to express his frustration with the way the situation was handled. In a tweet, he accused Liverpool of spreading "fake news" about the transfer, implying that the club was not entirely truthful about the reasons for the deal's collapse.
Aulas tweeted (translated from French):
"I'm fed up with the fake news spread by Liverpool about the Fekir transfer. We were in a good position, but the Reds didn't respect the agreement. We won't be fooled again."
It's worth noting that both Lyon and Liverpool have given different accounts of what happened, with Liverpool citing concerns over Fekir's fitness and Lyon claiming that the Reds reneged on their agreement.
This latest development has sparked a heated debate on social media, with fans of both clubs weighing in on the situation. What do you think, folks? Do you believe Lyon's president, or do you think Liverpool has a point?
