Inter Milan ponder bid for Real Madrid defender Pepe

Inter Milan are eyeing Real Madrid defender Pepe.

The Portugal defender is becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress over new contract talks.

Pepe remains among the lowest paid players at Real, but his demands so far have not been met by management.

Italy's Panorama says Inter are weighing up a move for Pepe next month as a direct replacement for crocked Argentine defender Walter Samuel.
