London, May 7: Claims Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Lyon attacker Nabil Fekir at the end of the season have been dismissed by Jurgen Klopp and Jean-Michel Aulas.

However, Klopp was quick to dismiss the possibility of the rumours being true, although he did not deny interest in the player.

"During the game we agreed a deal? I would be surprised about that to be honest. No comment," Klopp told reporters.

"I never comment on transfer rumours. I've said more than I usually say."

Lyon president Aulas stated no discussions took place and expressed his desire to see Fekir remain for next season.

"We have had no contact with Liverpool [on Sunday]. Fekir is here," Aulas said after Lyon's 3-0 victory over Troyes.

"We hope to keep him and have him playing the Champions League with us next year."

Fekir offered a similar response to questions about his future, saying: "We discussed some things after Moscow [the elimination from the Europa League in March] and managed to straighten things out.

"I am still in Lyon. We still have two games left [this season]. I am good here. This club is in my heart."
