The French playmaker starred as the club booked their spot in next term’s Champions League with a 3-2 win over Nice.
Former Manchester United star Memphis Depay scored all three goals for the home side to secure third place in Ligue 1 for Lyon.
Fekir started from the outset on Saturday evening but was substituted in the 84th minute to a standing ovation from the home fans.
And as the 24-year-old left the pitch, the match commentator appeared to confirm his imminent Liverpool transfer.
“He will have to join Liverpool next season,” the Canal Plus reporter said.
“He wanted to leave the club in the Champions League – for the moment it is.”
Fekir has been heavily linked with a switch to Anfield in recent weeks after missing out on a move to Arsenal in January.
The Gunners were favourites to sign the midfielder before they purchased Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Fekir has booked his place in France’s World Cup squad this summer after impressing in Ligue 1 this term.
The Lyon man is likely to warrant a fee of around £60m in the coming months.
Liverpool will be planning a spending spree this summer, armed with the funds received for the sale of Philippe Coutinho in January.
