"Real" from Madrid has an important task - to extend the contract with defensive specialist Pepe. Indeed, the Portuguese, who can become a free agent after this season, is attracting interest from foreign teams, especially - from Chinese clubs. "Marca" reports that player's agent Jorge Mendes has already started talks with CSL teams regarding Paris Saint-Germain winger Angel Di Maria, at the same time mentioning the possibility of Pepe making a name for himself in Asia. The wait was not long - Manuel Pellegrini's coached "Hebei Fortune" immediately offered a contract. The 33-year-old veteran would earn 10 million euros per season after taxes, while "Real" offers more than double the amount - 4.5 million euros. Furthermore, the royal team plans to limit the contract to just one year. Pepe will be able to start official negotiations with the Chinese from January 1st. He has been playing in "La Liga" since 2007.
