And if we were slowly approaching the end of the story between Gerard Pique and Barça. Trained at the club, the central defender has known everything with the Blaugrana, the greatest successes, three Champions League in particular, as well as disappointments. Pillar of a mythical team, the native of Barcelona has seen his influence, and also his level, gradually diminish. This season, despite 39 appearances in all competitions, he has been talked about more off than on the pitch, whether it’s his recent separation from Shakira, his non-football activities or the controversies surrounding his club in Andorra.
Pique wants to convince
And yesterday the SER padlock explained to us that Xavi Hernandez had told him that he would no longer be a starter next year, and that he could even be invited to head for the exit. A meeting that obviously had an effect in the mind of the 35-year-old player. According to information from Sport, he met his present Joan Laporta to discuss his future by making various promises to him to stay on the Camp Nou side. Among them, focusing only on football, stopping social networks and Twitch, leaving aside his businesses or even agreeing to reduce his salary to help the overall wage bill of the club. This summer, the Blaugrana should register the arrival of Andreas Christensen in the axis of the defense, enough to bring new competition, in addition to Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia and Clément Lenglet. Gerard Pique will therefore have to redouble his efforts if he wants to scratch playing time and regain the confidence of his coach Xavi Hernandez.
