Speaking to Europe 1, Fekir's (now) former agent Jean-Pierre Bernes said,
"I terminated the contract on (Thursday).
"It was a choice (Fekir) took. He will certainly look for another agent. Like all human relationships, from time to time you can have a difference of opinion on someone's future or their behaviour."
"To get into one of the top 10 clubs is very difficult, you must have an approach.
"You must not place too much importance on the role of an agent. When you have a big player and a big club wants him, it is the club who come to see you. You are not soliciting interest."
Nabil Fekir reportedly has admirers in Real Madrid and Chelsea as well.
