Besiktas signing Pepe rejected 'last minute Juventus offer'

Besiktas signing Pepe turned down and offer from Juventus, says his agent.

The former Real Madrid defender signed for Besiktas this week.

“The talks lasted three months, we didn't find the agreement with Besiktas in a week," Ahmet Bulut, the agent who took care of the deal, told NTV.

“Paris Saint-Germain and Inter wanted him, and Juventus made an attempt at the last minute but we were at a point where the Bianconeri were no longer an alternative."
