40-year-old Pepe doesn’t want to end his football career just yet and has extended his contract by another year at FC Porto.
“The legend continues,” wrote the Portuguese champions after signing the new contract, which runs until 2024. “I thank everyone who works with me every day and who makes me a better professional,” said Pepe via Instagram.
After ten years at Real Madrid and a year and a half at Besiktas Istanbul, Pepe returned to FC Porto in early 2019. The veteran is still one of the regulars there and in the Portuguese national team. “It seemed impossible for a professional athlete to be active at the age of 40,” said Porto President Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa. “But this shows that there are no impossibilities.” Maybe it won’t be Pepe’s last contract, added the club boss.
