Pepe emerged as one of the best young talents in European football last season, scoring 23 goals and creating 12 assists in 41 appearances for the French outfit.
The winger has attracted interest from the likes of Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as Liverpool, and it appears the Reds have made the first move.
Pepe was an unused substitute for the Ivory Coast in their final friendly game prior to the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
