08 giu 2019

Serie A giants Inter have been alerted in their chase for Nicolas Pepe as Bayern Munich and Liverpool have opened talks to sign the Lille star.

Pepe has become one of Europe's most wanted stars and his impressive performances for Lille have helped the club reach the UEFA Champions League. The 24-year-old scored 22 goals in 38 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille, assisting 11 times too.

RMC Sport state that Bayern and Liverpool have opened initial talks for Pepe, who is currently taking time to decide about what the future might lie for him this summer.

Liverpool is well placed but ... Liverpool and Bayern Munich negotiate with Lille and the player. It is not advanced at the moment because the player wants to think a little more. A very important 3rd club will position itself quickly.

It states that another 'important club' is set to position itself and join the race in a concrete form very soon. Inter have already had a bid rejected for Pepe and Man Utd remain interested.
