Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has refused to comment on rumours linking him with a move for Real Madrid defender Pepe.
The 59-year-old has admitted that he is still looking to add to his squad before the new season starts, but stopped short of naming any potential targets.
"I don't speak about rumours," the Chilean told reporters. "I think today we have the players that we need here.
"I just said that we will see what happens in this month and during August but I'm not talking about specific names because it's better for us, so I don't talk about Pepe or any other names."
City have already recruited Jesus Navas, Fernandinho, Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetic this summer.
