Nabil Fekir to Liverpool is nearly a done deal, and leaked reports have surfaced revealing his wage.

Lyon and Liverpool have finally struck a reported £52.75 million transfer for Fekir. Talks have been ongoing, though the deal is set to be over the line ahead of the World Cup.

Jurgen Klopp identified the French ace as a transfer target and has appeared to secure his services ahead of next season.

It will be Liverpool's second major summer signing of the window following the acquisition of AS Monaco's versatile Brazilian Fabinho, who was snapped up for £39 million.

Not to mention a pre-contract agreement with RB Leipzing for Guinea midfielder Naby Keita.

Keita, Fabinho and now Fekir. A complete midfield revamp. Exciting times for the Anfield faithfuls.

And after tying Fekir down to a five-year contract, reports have emerged claiming he's set to earn a cool 700k-euros-per-month according to Le Parisien via 101 Great Goals.

That's £153,000-a-week.

Further reports suggests he'll be the clubs third highest paid player behind Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk.

Fekir graduated from Lyon's academy before breaking into the first team, rising to prominence in 2013.

But he enjoyed his most prolific campaign last season, chipping in with an impressive 23 goals in all competitions.

Naturally, the 24-year-old was attracting plenty of interest from around Europe yet Liverpool have won the race to his coveted signature.

The thought of Fekir linking up with Mohamed Salah is a terrifying prospect.
