Nicolas Pepe will leave Lille during the next transfer window, the club s owner Gerard Lopez has confirmed.
The 23-year-old winger has turned heads in a prolific campaign that has him on course to finish as Ligue 1 s highest-scoring non-Paris Saint Germain player.
Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Manchester United are all reportedly interested in the Ivory Coast international.
PSG, who visit second-placed Lille looking to sew up the title on Sunday, could also consider an approach.
Here s hoping Nicolas Pépé will be celebrating a Super Sunday with at least one more goal added to his collection .

Thomas Tuchel praised Pepe as a good player with a lot of speed and strength after Lille boss Christophe Galtier openly stated his star forward would be a good fit for the capital club.
All clubs are forced to balance their accounts, except perhaps one, Lopez told Telefoot, seemingly referring to PSG.
I think we will sell four or five players. The departure of Nicolas Pepe is sure. He has entered a price range that cannot be paid anymore.
There is a career choice for him to make.
Pepe joined from Lille from Angers in 2017 and notched 13 league goals in his debut season.
