Real Madrid could try to sign Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi as a replacement for Pepe if he leaves the Bernebeu at the end of the season, the player's agent has claimed.
Otamendi's agent, Martin Sendoa, also said Barcelona have a long-term interest in the Argentina international.
He stressed that Otamendi is happy with the Premier League club but says any player would be tempted by a move to the European champions.
He told Radio Continental: "Pepe is leaving Real Madrid and Otamendi fits the profile they are looking for.
"Jorge Mendes [Cristiano Ronaldo's agent] is also managing Otamendi in Europe.
