Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move, while Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona are also reportedly interested. Asked if Pepe could stay at Lille for another season, Lopez told Canal Plus: "That does not just depend on the club. It also depends on the player. He deserves to play at the highest level. We have offers yes. "In England, there are clubs. We have had offers worth €50m. "We will not sell for less, we have even refused a €50m bid. "We had an offer from China worth €80m with an astronomical salary, but he didn’t want to go."
