Pepe has told Real Madrid he wishes to sign a new contract and ultimately retire at the Santiago Bernabeu following their 5-1 hammering of Legia Warsaw on Tuesday.
The Portugal defender played the full 90 minutes as the Champions League holders blew away their opposition after a rocky start in Madrid.
"I am calm. I want to help Madrid, the club I love," he told Antenna 3. "I am at peace.
"I hope the club call me first to resolve this [contract] situation. I am calm, people in the club know that this is my home. I have already said that I expect to be with Madrid until the last second [of his career].
"My goal is to retire here."
"The coach talked to me and told me I should be calm," he told reporters. "Here we have world class players.
"He told me to be patient. There are players who have spent many years here and I need to seize the minutes given to me."
