Departing Real Madrid defender Pepe is pushing Cristiano Ronaldo to join him in Paris next season.

Pepe is in talks over a Bosman move to PSG and while away with Portugal at the Confederations Cup, he has spoken to Ronaldo about joining him in France.

Spanish pundit Edu Pidal revealed on Onda Cero: "Pepe has asked him to go to PSG. He told Cristiano that they have not defended him and that they have leaked things against him.

"Pepe's relationship with the squad has not been good this year.

"They think he has created issues and now he is messing with Cristiano Ronaldo."
