Liverpool have made a bid for Lille star Nicolas Pepe this week.
Le 10 Sport says with Lille willing to sell for €80m, Liverpool's proposal is close to the assessment.
Indeed, some sources say including bonuses the offer meets Lille's asking price.
Liverpool have made their move in the same week as Daniel Sturridge's departure was confirmed by manager Jurgen Klopp.
An agreement is now close, though Lille may wait for PSG to make a counter offer.
