The fact that Pepe has still not renewed with Real Madrid has caused two English clubs to still be interested in his future. Specifically, the British newspaper People points out that both Manchester City and Chelsea consider Pepe as one of their priorities to reinforce their defense. He is the center-back they like the most, but so far they have not decided to take any action because the news they had was that he had reached an agreement with Florentino Pérez to extend his contract.
According to People, the entire operation may have been paralyzed due to the interest that the Real Madrid team is showing in Valencia's player Otamendi. This option has also reached England, and as a result, Pepe has become one of the highly considered options by all the major teams in the Premier League.
