Pepe confirms Madrid exit, but PSG deal not done yet

Portugal defender Pepe confirmed he was leaving Real Madrid, but insisted he was yet to agree to a deal with Paris Saint-Germain.

Pepe, 34, is out of contract at the end of the month and wanted a two-year deal at Madrid.

"It is clear that I will not continue at Real Madrid," he told Cope.

"One stage is over and, from now on, another one will start."

"There are more offers, also from England," Pepe said.

Zinedine Zidane's Madrid enjoyed a spectacular campaign that included winning LaLiga and the Champions League.

But Pepe has plenty of questions over his exit, saying: "I don't want to blame anyone. What Zidane has done with Real Madrid is spectacular, but there are things I don't understand.

"I didn't say goodbye to Zidane because Zidane and Real Madrid knew I was going before I did."
