Liverpool FC transfer news: Nicolas Pepe keen on joining Liverpool
L’Equipe (h/t Mirror) claims that Lille’s Nicolas Pepe is keen on a move to Liverpool. The Ivorian had an excellent Ligue 1 campaign and scored 22 times.
The 24-year-old is currently with the national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, and the report claims Liverpool have been linked with the winger.
However, the Reds distanced themselves from a move for the 24-year-old, and the report adds that Pepe’s representatives are waiting to see if Paris Saint-Germain spend big.
PSG is not the preferred destination for Pepe, and the report claims that he is open to joining Inter Milan too.
The Serie A giants have been linked with the Ivorian (h/t Mirror), and the Ivorian only came second in the goal-scoring charts behind Kylian Mbappe.
The report claims that Jurgen Klopp is happy with the players he has at Anfield, and it is expected to be a quiet summer for the Reds.
Liverpool are looking to make minor additions to a team that lifted the Champions League last season, and have already made their first signing.
