LIVERPOOL'S TRANSFER STANCE ON NICOLAS PEPE 'REVEALED'
Liverpool believe they are being linked with Nicolas Pepe to drive the player's price up ahead of one of the biggest moves of the summer.
The Lille frontman is set to be on the move this summer after his 22 goals helped fire Lille to second place in France's Ligue 1.
But it doesn't look as though he is heading to Anfield, as Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is only looking to make tweaks to his Champions League-winning squad.
Liverpool are to offer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain a 12-month extension to his current deal , and so are not likely to splash out big transfer fees on attacking reinforcements.
The Reds have been linked with Ivory Coast international Pepe, with L'Equipe recently reporting Liverpool had already tabled a £70m bid.
But the Liverpool Echo claimed those reports were incorrect and no talks have been held with either Lille or Pepe's representatives .
And Liverpool believe reports linking the player to them are merely attempts to drum up interest ahead of a big-money move, according to the Evening Standard .
