This is according to the publication from the stables of The Sun which claimed that the Ivorian international player is ready to snub Premier League clubs in favour of a move to the Bavarian giants.
English top flight sides like Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool are keen on a move for him.

Senior club officials have already confirmed that they will sell him during this summer’s transfer window.
Nicolas Pepe has been an important player for Lille since joining them two years ago and his form has led the French club back to the Champions League for next season.
He was the key player for Lille as they finished the season in second place on the French Ligue 1 table just behind champions Paris Saint Germain (PSG).
€80m-rated Pepe scored 23 goals in all competitions for Lille and it is not surprising that several clubs are on his trail this summer.
