Pepe admits his future at Real Madrid remains on the line.
The Portugal defender couldn't offer any fresh update on new contract talks, with negotiations still dragging on.
Pepe is among the lowest paid senior players at Real and wants parity with the club's top earners.
"I hope to stay at Real Madrid, but that just depends on God. I want to stay in Madrid, but that's an issue that depends not only on me," he shrugged.
