Nicolas Pepe’s agents met with Napoli today, but there are reports the Lille winger has agreed terms with Liverpool and two other clubs too.
Napoli Coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed in a Press conference that he met with Pepe’s agents, who were staying at the team hotel during this pre-season training retreat.
However, CalcioNapoli24.it claim Pepe has agreed basic terms with Napoli, Liverpool and two other Premier League clubs, believed to include Manchester United.
That would mean the choice came down to who wanted to pay his agents the biggest commission and how quickly they could get the deal over the line.
Sportitalia maintain nothing has changed from last week, when Napoli proposed €55m cash plus ownership of Adam Ounas, a deal gladly accepted by Lille.
