Reds not interested in 22-goal Ligue 1 striker

Liverpool and Lille are not currently in negotiations for attacker Nicolas Pepe, according to the Echo.

The Reds have been linked constantly in recent weeks with a big-money move for the 24-year-old, with several outlets reporting that a substantial offer was already on the table.

However, the Echo understand that any speculation regarding a move for the 22-goal forward is wide of the mark.

Liverpool were reportedly ready to pay around £60million for the frontman as Jurgen Klopp looked to further bolster his attacking options ahead of next season.

The German manager is eager to replace the departing Daniel Sturridge with a versatile forward who can operate in a number of different positions up front.

Pepe, however, is not believed to be one of the players Liverpool are considering, and a transfer move for the Lille star is unlikely to materialise this summer.
