Lille president Gerard Lopez has said the transfer of star winger Nicolas Pepe "is almost done" amid reports Liverpool and Manchester United remain interested in the player.
Ivory Coast international Pepe enjoyed a breakout campaign at Stade Pierre-Mauroy last season and has been linked with numerous European giants. Lopez spoke to La Voix du Nord (h/t Get French Football News) and said:
“Our work is done. In terms of departures and arrivals: If a player leaves, we will go and get what we need. For Nico, it is almost done, and he could have left last summer.
