Real Madrid defender Pepe is set to choose Besiktas over PSG.

Marca says the centre-back had even undergone a medical with the French club and yet hit a stumbling block at the final moments.

Next week and once Portugal have completed their Confederations Cup involvement, Pepe will travel to Istanbul to finalise his move to Besiktas, leaving Los Blancos after failing to agree a new deal in Madrid after 10 years at the club.

The veteran's future has been topsy-turvy to say the least after initial interest from China over the winter, tempting him with a mega salary offer.
