True, but i still have to say im not convinced with having a Brazilian CB. Im sure Pepe has been picked up on his numerous mistakes before in the past.
Anyway i think Barzagli is 90% likely to come to us anyway.
Does pepe have a EU passport? If so id go Pepe, purely in the fact he could turn out to be godlike thanks to his trunk load of pace.
Barzagli on the other hand hasnt been convincing this year....but i would still love for us to sign him.
