According to the Daily Mail, Pepe had one more year left on his contract with Arsenal, but yesterday, by agreement, the player and the club cancelled the contract. This allowed the player to join Trabzonspor, with whom Pepe signed a one-year contract.

Thus, Arsenal did not earn a penny on Pepe. But at least the Gunners will be able to reduce their wages by around £140,000 a week.
