Currently, Pepe is playing in his home country, Portugal, and he is contracted to the Portuguese club, FC Porto. The 40-year-old football icon who is two years older than Ronaldo has just two months left in his current contract.

Despite being a 40 years old center-defender, the Portuguese football veteran has played 26 games in all competitions – about 2,095 minutes of football for Porto.

Portuguese football transfer expert, Pedro Almeida, tweeted: “Cristiano Ronaldo asked the Al-Nassr board to sign #Pepe, the Portuguese player is at the end of his contract with Porto.
