Liverpool will not pursue a deal for Nicolas Pepe this summer, with Lille's £80million man more likely to head to Inter Milan or Atletico Madrid.
The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for the Ivory Coast forward, both in this window and previous, but Sportsmail understands he is not currently a transfer target.
In fact, it has been reported that sporting director Michael Edwards personally spoke to Lille manager Christophe Galtier earlier in June to reassure him that no move was being made for his player.
