Liverpool's Nabil Fekir Move Reportedly in Peril as Lyon Owner Seeks Bidding War

Liverpool's move to sign Lyon playmaker Nabil Fekir is reportedly in danger as Lyon's president and owner wants to use interest from Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid to ignite a bidding war.

The Reds have looked like leaders in the race to sign Fekir over recent weeks, but L'Equipe reported Jean-Michel Aulas is ready to exploit the intrigue of Europe's heavyweights to secure a larger fee (h/t Aaron Stokes of the Daily Express).

Stokes said Fekir is expected to go for a fee of around £50 million, although the Mirror's David Maddock added that no bid has been made by Liverpool just yet.
