Pepe will leave Besiktas with the gratitude of many of the club's staff, it has been revealed.

Due to the club's financial problems, the former Real Madrid defender has agreed to terminating his contract this month.

However, before Pepe's departure, it's emerged he paid the month's wages of several of the club's staff, including chefs and groundsmen, as Besiktas struggled to meet their obligations, reports Marca.

Pepe is now set to become a free agent and can immediately sign for a new club.
