Nicolas Pepe’s agent confirms talk over £70m summer transfer amid Arsenal and Liverpool links

Nicolas Pepe’s agent has revealed that they are currently in talks over a summer transfer. The 23-year-old's superb form for Lille this season has alerted the likes of Bayern Munich as well as Barcelona, while Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have also been linked in recent weeks. Pepe’s representative Samir Khiat has revealed that discussions have taken place with club and the current Bundesliga leaders. "We are in discussions with clubs. No decision has been taken," Khiat told RTL. "Today, there are no favourites, be it Bayern Munich or another club. "Nicolas will not go just anywhere. We have not decided on which league." According to French outlet Le10Sport, the Reds have established contact with Ligue 1 side Lille about the in-demand forward. Club president Gerard Lopez told Telefoot he expects the player to move on. "Four or five players will be leaving this summer,” he said. “All clubs are forced to balance their accounts except perhaps one. I would say yes, it is sure he [Pepe] will leave. “He enters a price range that can no longer be paid. There is a career choice to make for him, I think he will have the choice." Pepe netted 19 times in Ligue 1 and has weighed in with 11 assists in 32 appearances so far which means he's keeping company with PSG trio Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Neymar in terms of goal involvement.
