Lille's owner and president has claimed that Liverpool have been in contact with Nicolas Pepe, although no bid has been made, while reports in France suggest the winger is weighing offers from several clubs.
One of this summer's hottest transfer targets after scoring 22 goals and registering 11 assists in Ligue 1 last season, 24-year-old Pepe has been linked with the great and good of European football this summer.
Lille value Pépé at €80m, including add-ons, and are fully intent on making the most profit possible if their star player is to depart this summer.
According to L'Equipe (via GFFN), Lille has now received 'firm bids' from the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Inter, while Napoli and Atletico Madrid remain in the running.
