Lille owner Gerard Lopez says star winger Nicolas Pepe will not be sold for anything less than €50million ($56million).

After signing from Angers in 2017, Pepe has developed into one of the most highly regarded young players in Ligue 1 and is reportedly a target for a number of Premier League clubs.

Speaking to RMC Sport on Wednesday, Lopez claimed it would take an offer of between "50million and 80million euros" to sign the 23-year-old.

Lopez had confirmed interest from English and Chinese clubs on Monday, telling Canal Plus: "[Pepe's future] does not just depend on the club. It also depends on the player.

"He deserves to play at the highest level. We have offers, yes. There are clubs in England. We have had offers worth 50million. We will not sell for less, we have even refused a €50million bid.

"We had an offer from China worth €80million with an astronomical salary, but he didn't want to go."
