Liverpool boss Klopp made Fekir his top target at the start of the summer transfer window.
The Lyon hotshot appeared poised to arrive back in June after images of him in a Reds jersey and conducting an interview with the club’s in-house television channel surfaced online.
Liverpool are yet to go back in for Fekir, who has also been linked with giants such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Chelsea in the past.
And the Liverpool Echo’s James Pearce says that while the Reds can afford Fekir, fans need Klopp to change his mind on the 24-year-old.
He said: “Klopp has shown throughout his time at Liverpool that if he can’t get exactly what he wants he’s prepared to wait rather than just chase an inferior alternative for the sake of it.
“Clearly, he wanted Fekir but that deal collapsed due to concerns over an old knee injury.
“The money is there for Klopp to further strengthen if he wishes but barring a late change of heart he seems happy to push on with what he’s got.”
Pearce also opened up on the futures of Marko Grujic and Lazar Markovic.
Grujic has been tipped to leave Liverpool, while the club are frantically searching for Markovic buyer.
And Pearce added: “I still think a season-long loan at Cardiff is the most likely move for Grujic.
“There had been talk about him moving permanently with Lazio keen but LFC would prefer that he signs a contract extension and then goes on loan. He has a lot of potential.
“Markovic has no future at LFC and will leave permanently but there is no massive rush on that as he can go abroad any time before the end of August.
“Olympiacos are keen, along with Anderlecht, Leganes, Getafe. He’s down to the final year of his contract.”
Liverpool have already made four big signings this summer.
Naby Keita, Fabinho, Alisson Becker and Xherdan Shaqiri have all touched down on Merseyside.
