Fekir has been absolutely superb for Lyon this season, with the midfielder having the best season of his career for the French giants.

The 24-year-old managed to clock up a total of 23 goals and eight assists in 40 appearances for Lyon this season as he helped the club secure a top four finish in Ligue 1.

With Andres Iniesta leaving Barcelona, the club will certainly be on the look out for a replacement, and that could be Fekir if they are serious about signing the Frenchman.

If things go to plan, we may see Real and Barca ignite further their already red-hot rivalry, as both look to land a deal for Fekir this summer.
