Man City's new manager Manuel Pellegrini wants to sign Real Madrid centre back Pepe. The defender has been suggested as a possible partner for Vincent Kompany at the heart of the Citizen's defensive line for next season.
The Portugal international will be sold by Real as new manager Carlo Ancelotti aims to bring in a top class striker, such as Edinson Cavani, in this transfer window. Gonzalo Higuain is expected to quit the club whilst Pepe, 30, could also now be sold.
£20m is the figure that has been suggested in the Daily Mirror should a potential deal go through for the defender.
The defender is known to be a huge fan of the Premier League and is hopeful that a deal can be reached between both clubs and that he will be able to spend the new season playing under Pellegrini.
