Liverpool one of Nicolas Pepe’s preferred summer destinations

Liverpool is reportedly one of Nicolas Pepe’s preferred destinations this summer. 

According to French outlet L’Equipe, cited by GFFN, the Ivorian forward is keen on a switch to Merseyside to link up with Jurgen Klopp, or a move to Italy with Inter Milan to work with Antonio Conte.

The report also states that Paris Saint-Germain look set to enter the race for the in-demand forward after his outstanding individual campaign. 

The Reds have been linked with a move for Pepe over recent months, however, no official offer has been made to Lille. 

Pepe scored 22 goals and provided 11 more for Lille in the French top tier last season, helping the club secure Champions League football by finishing second behind Paris Saint-Germain.

An Anfield move for the wide man remains unlikely, however, following Pepe’s reported preference, the Reds may well decide to test the water with Lille with an official offer in the coming weeks.
