Liverpool mysteriously pulled the plug on £8.5m transfer at 11th hour

Liverpool boast an impressive record in the transfer market in recent years but not every deal has gone to plan

Nabil Fekir will forever be remembered as the one that got away for Liverpool.

 

The French midfielder infamously saw a move to Merseyside collapse at the eleventh hour during the summer of 2018, the Reds pulling the plug on a deal after scans from his medical sparked concerns over an ACL injury he suffered back in 2015. It was decided the best course of action was to walk away.

BLOOD RED: ‘IT WAS A DARK MOMENT’ | NABIL FEKIR ON WHY LIVERPOOL TRANSFER COLLAPSED

Nabil Fekir will forever be remembered as the one that got away for Liverpool.

 

The French midfielder infamously saw a move to Merseyside collapse at the eleventh hour during the summer of 2018, the Reds pulling the plug on a deal after scans from his medical sparked concerns over an ACL injury he suffered back in 2015. It was decided the best course of action was to walk away.

The Betis playmaker may well be the player fans remember when thinking back to deals that failed to materialise, though there was another Frenchman whose dreams of a Liverpool transfer were dashed before Fekir.
