There has been intense speculation surrounding the future of Nicolas Pepe in the last period.

The 23-year-old has been long term target of Luciano Spalletti as the manager look to bolster his attacking options for the next season.

Pepe can play multiple positions in attack.

According to Calciomercato, “France Football though, state that Inter have already made an offer of about 60 million euros for the 23-year-old. It states that Inter have been in constant contact with Lille for the winger and have also scouted him multiple times over the last few weeks. Piero Ausilio is very keen on the player and the offer is a result of that. Lille’s president has already confirmed that the player will leave in the summer and that has put many clubs on alert, with Bayern Munich leading the race for him.”
