Pepe will be leaving Bernabeu by the end of the season |
One
of Manchester United’s main concerns this season has been their injury hit
defensive back-line, and Jose Mourinho seems to be all set to strengthen his defence
for the next season. And with the transfer window coming closer, Mourinho has
lined up an offer for Real Madrid’s star player, Pepe.
The
Portuguese centre-back will be leaving Bernabeu by the end of the season with
his contract expiring next month, but the 34-year-old still aims to continue
playing top-level football. However, he appears to have very limited options on
his side at present.
According
to reports, Pepe has only two offers on the table, one being from Inter Milan
and the other one from China. But he is believed to be uninterested in either,
as the Madrid centre-back hopes to play in Europe’s elite competition next
term, which unfortunately, the Nerazzurri cannot provide.
If
United are able to achieve European glory by winning the Europa League this
season, and hence qualify for the Champions League next term, the United boss
would certainly be offering Pepe a deal to reunite with him at Old Trafford.
The
two have worked together in the past during Mourinho’s time at Real, and may very
well end together up again if United qualify for Champions League.
The
Portugal international would be coming to Old Trafford on a free transfer if
the deal were to happen, meaning Manchester United could still spend hefty
amount of cash on other defensive reinforcements as well.
