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.

Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović speaks on the FIFA World Cup and states which African team countries should watch out for.

During a recent interview, the former player shared that Ivory Coast should be one of the teams to look out for.

“They can be dangerous. It is a very good team. They lost against Germany, but that game could have been a draw or even a win.

“So, it’s not like they came out of the group with one loss because of a bad game against Germany. They played a good game against Germany and could easily have gotten a point against them.”
