Real Madrid is not planning to part ways with their long-time team center-back Pepe. The Spanish press reports that the "White" team has reached an agreement with the 33-year-old Portuguese for a new contract. Pepe's current contract with Real ends next summer, but the separation with the footballer will not happen.
It is reported that Real offered one of the world's best defenders of recent years a one-year contract with the possibility of extending it for another season. This means that Pepe will most likely continue playing in Madrid for the next two seasons.
There have been rumors in the media that Pepe's services have attracted interest from Premier League giants, but Zinedine Zidane wants to keep the experienced defender in his team. The Portuguese arrived in Madrid back in 2007 and during this period managed to play in 324 matches.
