TRANSFER UPDATE: Lille Take FINAL DECISION On Pepe Joining Man United For £70million
Lille have decided not to allow £70million winger, Nicolas Pepe leave the club for Manchester United in this summer’s transfer window.
According to Yahoo Sport France, the French Ligue 1 side have rejected Man United’s offer to land the Ivory Coast international to Old Trafford this summer.
The newspaper, however, did not reveal how much the Premier League giants offered to Lille.
The report also claimed that Pepe has also drawn interests from Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton in recent weeks.
DAILY POST had reported that Man United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, wants the Red Devils to make a move for Pepe this summer in a bid to strengthen his attacking options ahead of next season.
Pepe scored 23 goals in 45 appearances for Lille last season.
The 24-year-old also helped his side to secure UEFA Champions League qualification ahead of Marseille and Lyon.
