Report: Manchester City want Pepe

By , Football Editor
A report claims that Manchester City are preparing a £25m move for Real Madrid defender Pepe.

Manchester City are reportedly preparing a £25m move for Real Madrid defender Pepe.

The Portuguese international enjoyed a fine campaign for Los Blancos last term, with the capital outfit winning a Champions League and Copa del Rey double.

However, the continuing development of Raphael Varane and the standing of Sergio Ramos at the Bernabeu has placed Pepe's long-term future in doubt.

According to Marca, Madrid could be tempted into a sale this summer for the right price, with City preparing a move in the region of £25m.

City are expected to sign a centre-back this summer to play alongside skipper Vincent Kompany next season.
