Juventus are ready to take Pepe off Real Madrid hands.

Flush with cash raised from their Champions League qualification, Juve are planning a major spending spree this summer - with Pepe high on their shopping list.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Juve are ready to slap in a bid for Pepe, well aware the Portugal international's future at Real is in doubt.

The defender's robust on-field behaviour has upset many inside the boardroom and Real president Florentino Perez is being urged to sell the 29 year-old.
