Nabil Fekir's former agent has rubbished claims from the French player that Liverpool 'lied' about why the potential transfer was culled last summer.
Fekir underwent a customary medical at Liverpool in the summer of 2018, but the European champions pulled the plug on the deal after problems with his knee surfaced
The French winger, who made a shock move to Real Betis in June, rubbished those claims, saying 'lots of lies were told', but his agent at the time Jean-Pierre Bernes stated there were no lies on Liverpool's part.
Speaking to French outlet L'Equipe, Bernes said: "He has to stop this show and stop taking people for fools. Everyone knows what happened.
"The transfer to Liverpool has turned around for two reasons. The first is his knee, even though the English club's leaders were willing to make an effort on this.
"The second is the appearance of a foreign pseudo-representative who asked for the negotiations to be resumed from the beginning at the moment of signing.
"Between this episode and the medical visit, Liverpool's leaders decided to abandon the case."

if I were Liverpool I would have taken the Bayern deal.... loan with an option to buy back..... 1 year to see his performance and next year for big money move.... no investment for 2 years will do good sponsors.... hmmmm sure 120 mill was affordable.... by d way I hope Keita fill that boot and prove doubters wrong. .. I have been expecting that from day 1...
ya that's true.... but could have been so much better... talent wasted....

I think the reason Fekir moved to Betis is because I think his knee is giving him problems so a club like Betis would be perfect for him

grow up kid. Why don't you understand my point. I was trying to tell him why but talents sometimes choose small clubs. Just like Fekir joined Betis, Tevez joined Aston Villa. I hope you have understood it now
tevez join west ham..not aston villa..and tevez join westham is because no other epl team will risk signing him due to his contract own by an third party which is illegal at the time..same go for mascherano and westham was fined by epl because of it...during that time...it illegal to paid transfer fees to an non football party...you can check tevez wiki or mascherano or west ham..tevez didnt go there because he want to..it because that his only choice to play in epl...as to why westham accept the deal...it because the owner and the third party agency had a bit of connection..

This is like walking out of a shop and then telling everyone the next year why he didn't buy the Mars bar. Nobody cares anymore.

He's moved to a small club, Real Betis for in today's market of only 22m, then that says everything we need to know, so it seems they've dodged a bullet. Liverpool still need to be finding a Coutinho replacement to stop the over reliance on the front three.

He looked terrible during the World Cup in Russia - I always thought that was the real reason they didn't sign him

Well, it's normal how people always want to give excuses and shift blames from Agents, club, coaches, players etc. You are a top player now at Betis, and we just won the UCL without you. so can we just respect yourself and Keep quiet.
