Zapping World Eleven TOP 10: The most profitable transfers in history
In full divorce with his wife Shakira, and while he would have, according to some media, had an affair with the mother of his teammate Gavi, Gerard Pique has just received bad news… news. At 35, the defender appeared diminished this season, but for lack of a solution on his bench, Xavi Hernandez continued to line him up regularly, sometimes alongside Ronald Araujo, sometimes Eric Garcia. In total, he will have accumulated 39 appearances in all competitions, including 25 starts in La Liga. But the situation should change next year.
Pique does not want to let go
Indeed, according to information from Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan technician explained to his former teammate that he would no longer be an indisputable starter next year during a meeting held two weeks ago. In addition, he told him that his (big) salary was a real difficulty for his team, he who still has two years of contract in Catalonia. For his part, the 2010 world champion made it clear to him that he did not want to give up and prove him wrong. To continue on the side of Camp Nou, the defender passed by Manchester United will inevitably have to lower his emoluments. A situation that he seems to have understood following his interview with his coach, and which seems above all to be the only one if he wants to stay in the team. With 602 games on the clock, he is slowly approaching the end of his love affair with his beloved club.
