LOSC Lille have reportedly reached agreements in principle with four clubs including Manchester United regarding a deal for Nicolas Pepe, who has been eyed by Liverpool in recent months.
According to claims from credible French outlet La Voix du Nord, as cited by GFFN via Twitter, the Ligue 1 club have accepted opening proposals from the Red Devils, as well as Serie A pair Inter Milan and Napoli.

Reports on Thursday revealed that Pepe’s agent had flown into Italy for talks regarding a possible move to Napoli as the race for his signature continues to heat up.
Liverpool have long been linked with a move for the Ivory Coast international, but it seems they may have to step up their pursuit if they are serious about signing him.
Pepe was in fine form for Lille last season. He helped them to a second-place finish behind Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, scoring 22 times and assisting 11 goals.
