Liverpool have reportedly described rumours they are negotiating with Lille for Nicolas Pepe as "pure lies."
Per ESPN FC's Melissa Reddy, the club countered reports from France and denied holding talks or meetings regarding the winger.
The only contact between the two teams came when Reds sporting director Michael Edwards personally informed manager Christophe Galtier they have "zero interest" in signing Pepe earlier in June.
Pepe, who is valued in the region of £70 million, has also been linked with the likes of Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid.
