Lille forward Nicolas Pépé will reject a move to the Premier League this summer in favour of joining Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
Both Manchester United and Liverpool had been keeping tabs on the Ivorian star ahead of the transfer window, sending numerous scouting parties to the Stade Pierre Mauroy and across France before deciding whether to make a move.
But The Mirror claims that decision has been taken out of their hands, with £70m-rated Pépé instead favouring a move to join Bayern.
The Bavarians are also claimed to be eager on signing Leroy Sané from Manchester City, having missed out on the Germany international's signature while he was at Schalke.
