Besiktas have completed the signing of Real Madrid defender Pepe.

The Portuguese, who has represented Los Blancos for 10 years, failed to agree a new contract with the club and was tipped to sign for PSG.

The 34-year-old even went as far as to have a medical with the Ligue 1 giants, according to Marca,but the deal fell through.

The paper reported that Pepe would instead agree terms with Turkish club Besiktas, and would fly to Istanbul following the Confederations Cup.

According to reports in Turkey, the defender has signed on a three-year deal and will earn around €3.25million per season.

Real fans have been keeping a close eye on the movement of the club veteran, who on Tuesday took to Twitter to tease out his next move ahead of an official announcement.

Posting online, the 34-year-old uploaded an image of Besiktas’ stadium alongside the caption: “bu sene?” which translates as “this year?”
