"Manchester City" continues to negotiate with Madrid's "Real" club for the acquisition of center-back Pepe. As reported by "Marca", the team led by Manuel Pellegrini plans to submit an offer of up to 30 million euros for the Portuguese national team player. The "City" team had previously made an offer for Pepe, but "Real" president Florentino Perez rejected these reports and stated that the defender would stay in Madrid. However, the 30-year-old player may be enticed by the conditions offered by "Man City", which include a salary twice as much as what he currently earns at the royal club. During the middle of last season, Pepe lost his place in the starting lineup of the Spanish vice champions, when the young Raphael Varane excelled after being given a chance by Jose Mourinho."
