Lyon midfielder Nabil Fekir is likely to leave the Ligue 1 side this summer, president Jean-Michel Aulas told the club's official website.

The 25-year-old was reportedly inches away from becoming a Liverpool player last summer, before the Reds pulled out of the deal due to concerns over a knee injury.

Aulas admitted that the Frenchman's 'preference is towards a departure', and added: "We are open to discussions.

"We have no news. We are waiting for proposals in the coming days but for the moment we do not have any."
