Real Madrid centre-back Pepe has emerged as a candidate to move to Juventus next summer, Tuttosport reports. Thiago Silva remains first choice on the Turin side’s shopping list, yet the PSG defender’s deal is unlikely to expire until 2018, with only failure to qualify for the Champions League freeing him of his obligation to the Parc des Princes side next summer.
As a result, Juve see Pepe as an alternative to the Brazil international, though AC Milan are interested, too. The PSG centre-back is unlikely to be available on a free next summer, so the Serie A champions are looking at other options.
