LYON insist there are no planned talks with Liverpool over the transfer of Nabil Fekir.
Reports claim Jurgen Klopp is set to move for the versatile forward after losing the Champions League final to Real Madrid.
Fekir scored 23 goals in all competitions this season as he captained Lyon to a third-place finish in Ligue 1.
And Liverpool apparently believe he would be the perfect addition to an already star-studded attack featuring Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
The lack of depth in Klopp’s squad was abundantly clear as Liverpool succumbed to yet another final defeat at the weekend.
However, it seems that a deal is some way off from being struck, with Lyon claiming they are yet to arrange a meeting with the Reds.
President Jean-Michel Aulas said: “At the moment he is a Lyon player and very proud of it.
“I do not have a scheduled appointment with the Liverpool board. There is no emergency at all.”

Liverpool have already completed a deal for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita but are keen on strengthening the depth of their squad.
Roma goalkeeper Alisson is wanted to replace Loris Karius, while there could yet be another midfielder arriving as Emre Can prepares for his free transfer to Juventus.
