Inter Milan are hopeful of beating Manchester City and Manchester United to the signing of Real Madrid defender Pepe.
The 34-year-old is out of contract in the summer and he is set to leave the Bernabeu after spending a decade there.
Both Manchester clubs have been linked with the centre-back, while Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on signing him too.
However, according to TMW, Pepe could now be on his way to Inter as they have lined up a swoop for him when his contract expires.
