Top 5 Lille stars Luis Campos could bring at Milan

The likely appointment of Luis Campos as AC Milan sporting director could be accompanied by the arrival of several Lille stars at San Siro.

RW – NICOLAS PEPE

Lille’s most prized asset is without a doubt star winger Nicolas Pepe. The 23-year-old Ivory Coast international was a revelation last season scoring 13 goals in 36 appearances. However, this season, he has outdone himself.

He was one of the best Ligue 1 performers. Pepe guided Lille to a second-place finish and Champions League qualification scoring 22 goals and assisting 11 in 37 league appearances. Excellent numbers for the young right winger.

Lille are aware that they will lose Nicolas Pepe this summer but the name of his next team is still a mystery. Many European top clubs have expressed interest in the talented right winger.

In April, L’Equipe speculated that AC Milan had offered €70 million for Nicolas Pepe, very close to Lille’s demands of 80 million. But if Milan fail to qualify for Champions, the Rossoneri could afford such an investment for a single player.
