Pepe, who was rumored to be a target for Tottenham, has dealt a shock to the Premier League team by announcing his determination to stay at Porto.
Pepe contributed to 15 goals during the 2022–23 season, making him one of Porto’s most impressive players.
A Bola reported last week that Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain were both prepared to substantiate their interest in the winger as a result of the player’s performances.
According to the article, Porto allegedly won’t agree to release the 26-year-old until his €75 million (£64.1 million) release clause is honored.
UOL on Monday reportedly stated that Pepe’s agents had previously met with the Lilywhites to discuss a prospective move, which supported Tottenham’s interest in the player.
Pepe suggests Porto will remain, despite Tottenham rumors
The Porto star has since shot down the rumors by stating that he wants to stay at Estadio do Dragao, putting an end to the rumors.
Pepe spoke to Globo Esporte on the transfer rumors: “My future is with Porto. My contract is good until 2027. I plan to take some time off and then have a fantastic season.”I constantly aim to develop and adapt. We know that when we create amazing games, we ultimately end up arousing this desire. If it does, we assess it as soon as possible.

The 26-year-old’s revelation that he would not pursue a transfer away from the Portuguese club effectively puts an end to Tottenham’s or any other team’s dreams of swooping for the winger this summer because Porto is unwilling to sell the player unless his release clause is reached.
