Wolverhampton Wanderers are linked with Pepe this summer.
Wolverhampton Wanderers wrapped up a deal for Joao Moutinho on Tuesday. The Portugal legend, who has 113 caps for his country, signed for Wolves on a two-year deal for a bargain £5 million.
But are Wolves also interested in the 31-year-old’s international colleague? Maybe.
According to Turkish publication Fanatik, Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo is interested in signing former Real Madrid centre-back Pepe, who is now with Besiktas.
The 35-year-old, who earns £80,000 per week with the Turkish giants [ESPN], would arguably be the Molineux club’s most high-profile addition of a brilliant summer transfer window so far, given that he has won the Champions League on three occasions.
And, interestingly, he might just be on the move. Portuguese outlet Record reported on Tuesday that Pepe has been omitted from his side’s Europa League squad for the upcoming qualifying tie with B36 Torshavn, which will only intensify the rumours.
It should be noted that Porto are also reportedly in the race, so a move to Wolves isn’t guaranteed, but it looks increasingly likely that he may be transferred somewhere this summer.
