Liverpool transfer news: Nabil Fekir demands IMMINENT Anfield move during Lyon talks
Liverpool are eager to complete a deal for France international Fekir before the World Cup gets underway on June 14.
But, according to the Daily Mirror, Aulas is holding out because he thinks the forward's value will rise if he performs well in Russia.
Reports in France suggest that Liverpool have opened the bidding but it is understood an offer is yet to be tabled.
Jurgen Klopp is eager to quickly piece together his squad ahead of next season.
A £52.75m deal has already been agreed for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita while utility man Fabinho was captured from Monaco for around £44m earlier this week.
A swoop for Fekir would take their summer spending rocketing towards the £150m barrier.
Aulas recently warned Liverpool that Lyon will not sell Fekir on the cheap this summer.
He said: "There has been no contact at all with Liverpool, nor with any other club.
I havent talked about his future with him at all.
"Nabil also really wants to stay after qualifying [for the Champions League.
Were going to talk it through calmly.
"For the moment, nothing has been decided.
Youll have to be very rich to recruit Nabil Fekir this year." .
Fekir heads to the World Cup on the back of a brilliant season for Lyon, scoring 23 goals in 40 appearances.
Fabinho talked up Liverpool's potential move for the Lyon ace, describing him as a "very good player".
But Fekir played down his comments, and said: "If Fabinho is to be my future team-mate? I will discuss my future after the World Cup not before.
"If I will sign somewhere before the World Cup? Honestly, I dont know.".
