Pepe remains unsigned beyond this season

Ramos, Marcelo, Kroos, Varane et al under contract until 2020

With the finishing touches being put on Cristiano and Gareth Bale’s new long-term contracts, the majority of the Real Madrid squad – including Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Toni Kroos, James, Raphaël Varane and Keylor Navas – are under contract at the Santiago Bernabéu until 2020.

Another six, among them Casemiro, Kovacic and Danilo, are tied up until 2021 while Asensio and Morata have signed up until 2022.

If he does not sign a new deal before the 31st December the Brazilian will be free to negotiate with other clubs as of the 1st January and to leave the Spanish capital in the summer.
