INSIDER: Liverpool still well placed to beat Bayern Munich for Pepe

Liverpool remain in serious contact with Lille star Nicolas Pepe.

The Reds are said to have met Lille's asking price for the Ivorian in recent days, though a deal has been threatened by Bayern Munich's intervention.

However, RMC's chief pundit Mohamed Bouhafsi says it could yet happen.

He posted to social media: "Liverpool is well placed but ... Liverpool and Bayern Munich negotiate with Lille and the player. It is not advanced at the moment because the player wants to think a little more. A very important 3rd club will position itself quickly."
