Pepe Reveals that Ronaldo Offered Him Part of His Salary to Keep Him at Real Madrid
Pepe has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo once offered him part of his salary in a bid to keep him at Real Madrid.
Pepe spent years as a key figure in Madrid’s defense alongside Sergio Ramos, earning a reported £110,000 per week. However, in 2017, he chose to leave as a free agent and signed with Besiktas, despite Ronaldo’s efforts to make him stay.
Ronaldo, who was on a £365,000 weekly wage at the time, even offered to give Pepe a portion of his earnings. But Pepe declined, explaining that money wasn’t the reason for his departure.
“I told him I couldn’t stay because of certain difficulties, and he said, ‘If it’s about money, mate, I’ll give you part of mine!’ But I told him no. It wasn’t about that. I just wanted to enjoy football again, so I chose to go to Turkey,” Pepe shared in an interview with Renascenca.
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
