TIL Desk Sports/ Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has said he will like central defender Pepe to sign a new contract with the club to continue playing in the Spanish football club next season.
Speaking ahead of Madrid’s return to action against Sevilla in the King’s Cup, Zidane explained that Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo will both miss the game but he made special reference to Pepe.
The 33-year-old is out of contract with Madrid at the end of the current season and as of January 1 he has been able to negotiate a move to another club.
“He is a Real Madrid player and he is important for us as he has spent 10 years at the club and made history here. I would like him to continue,” said Zidane.
He was also asked about out of favour forward James Rodriguez. The Colombian has been reduced to a bit-part role and showed his frustration in the World Club Cup when he openly discussed leaving the club.
