Pepe and his Lille side are the nearest challengers to league leaders Paris Saint Germain (PSG).
Lille officials have already slapped a £72m asking price on him.
Nicolas Pepe has been one of the most in-form players on the European football stage since the start of this season.
His Lille form has attracted a lot of requests from clubs like Barcelona, PSG and Liverpool.
Apart from the aforementioned trio, the 23-year-old has been touted as a possible signing for others like Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
