Liverpool and Manchester United have both been linked with Fekir, whose future at Lyon remains in doubt
The 24-year-old appeared set to move to Anfield earlier this month but, after Liverpool pulled the plug on a deal, a transfer looked dead in the water
Despite that, talk has been rife that Liverpool retain an interest in Fekir, though United's interest is growing
Lyon president Jean-Michael Aulas claimed last week the Red Devils had held talks about a deal, saying: "I was with Jose Mourinho the other day
We had long discussions. "Personally, I am no longer in discussions with Liverpool
"At the moment, we are waiting for France and Nabil to have a fantastic World Cup
" And the Mirror say Fekir may now have to make a decision on his next move. He reportedly may have to pick whether to join Liverpool or opt for Manchester United, who have the finances to broker a deal
Liverpool wanted Fekir to be their Philippe Coutinho replacement following his move to Barcelona in January
But United may hijack their move - and history suggests they are more than capable of doing so
Back in January, they raided Arsenal for Alexis Sanchez. For months, the player had seemed likelier to join Manchester City - but Pep Guardiola's men were ultimately gazumped
It was a similar story regarding Romelu Lukaku last July. The Belgium international was closing in on a sensational return to Chelsea, having been earmarked as the perfect replacement for Diego Costa
Yet United blew the Blues out of the water with a £75million deal. Fekir may yet stay at Lyon but, with Liverpool and United eyeing a transfer, whether that happens remains to be seen
