Nicolas Pepe has Liverpool interest
This has been reported for a while now but Lille president Gerard Lopez has basically confirmed that Liverpool have been in contact with Nicolas Pepe. Lopez stated that while Liverpool do have many players in Pepe’s position, they may have some departures.
He also added that the Merseyside outfit have held talks with his agents but have not spoken directly to the French outfit itself. Lopez also revealed that the club received two offers before Africa Cup of Nations began.
"I know they had contact with the player, but not with us. Liverpool, in that position, already has other players, maybe someone can leave. It's true, the Reds have had discussions with Nicolas's agents. Before the Africa Cup of Nations we had two offers, we'll see now. Its evaluation is between 40 and 80 million,” he was quoted as saying.
