Carlos Queiroz has revealed that when he was manager of Real Madrid, he spoke to then president Florentino Perez to sign the young Brazilian defender Pepe from Maritimo.
Queiroz also claimed the deal to sign him would've only cost 2M EUR had Perez accepted Queiroz's request. Worryingly for Real Madrid, this summer they have signed Pepe for 30M EUR, over 15 times more than the original fee they could've purchased the now 24 year old for.
