Pepe, in an interview in today’s Marca, on his contract renewal:

I’m capable of yielding in everything to stay with Real Madrid.  For me, being here is the maximum; it’s a privilege to be able to enjoy this club and I’ll do everything to stay.  Right now, it’s the love of my life.

He went on to say, “as a kid, I always dreamed of playing for Real Madrid and when I heard that they wanted to sign me, I told my agent that I only wanted to go to Real Madrid, even though I had other big offers… I would like to retire in this club.”

Pepe added that he loves living in Madrid, because “the people are wonderful, I like walking around and my girlfriend is studying medicine here.  I like to take walks on C/ Fuencarral because it reminds me of my childhood in Brazil.  I get a coffee and I enjoy my life.”

Come on FP, re-sign Pepe so that one day I might run into him on Fuencarral!!
