Liverpool transfer target Nabil Fekir has refuted suggestions he is on the verge of joining Liverpool.
"I'm not close to Liverpool," Fekir told Téléfoot.
"It's true that there are discussions with several clubs. I will take the time to think. It does not matter if I sign or not before the World Cup. As I said, I leave time to do things."
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas acknowledged interest in Fekir during an interview with L'Équipe this week, but insisted no formal offers have been made at this stage.
"He [Aulas] knows my desires, and we'll talk about all of this in the next few days," added Fekir.
