Real Madrid defender, Pepe has confirmed he is leaving the club.
The player, however, insisted he was yet to agree to a deal with Paris Saint-Germain and revealed interest from the Premier League.
The 34-year-old Euro 2016 winner is out of contract at the end of the month and wanted a two-year deal at Madrid.
But the defender decided to leave the club after being offered just a one-year extension.
Pepe joined Real Madrid from FC Porto in 2007.
Pepe told Cope, “It is clear that I will not continue at Real Madrid.
“One stage is over and, from now on, another one will start.”
During his time with the Spanish giants, he helped them to three La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns.
Injuries saw him make just 18 appearances in all competitions this season.
The defender has been heavily linked with a move to PSG and Inter, but said he had options in England.
He added, “There are more offers, also from England.
“I don’t want to blame anyone. What Zidane has done with Real Madrid is spectacular, but there are things I don’t understand.
“I didn’t say goodbye to Zidane because Zidane and Real Madrid knew I was going before I did.”
