Real Madrid defender Pepe makes sensational Barcelona approach

The minders of Real Madrid defender Pepe have sensationally made contact with Barcelona.

Onda Cero says Pepe's representatives have been in touch with intermediaries close to Barca about a stunning move to the Nou Camp.

The Portugal defender is among the lowest paid senior players at Real and fed-up with delays over new contract talks.

Barca haven't rejected the prospect, with Carles Puyol now entering the twilight of his career and fellow centre-half Gabi Milito off contract in June.
