Pepe has declared he hopes to retire with Real Madrid.

The defender is inside the final year of his current deal.

"I've got this season and I am happy. I'm a very positive guy, I try to do things right so that good things happen. If I can give my best, the club will see that and hopefully one day they will call me to sort this issue out," he told Cadena SER.

“I've got a lot of experience, and I'm not going to let my heart get in the way, I think more when I speak to referees. Since the first day I have fought to win my place and I've been in this game for 10 years. People value what I do and I am as enthusiastic in my job as I was on my first day."

Asked if he could retire at Real, Pepe replied: “Yes, I'd love to."
