Xavi and Laporta spoke with the defender, but he believes he can reclaim his spot in the next two years due to which Gerard Pique is currently in the news
It was announced on Monday that Xavi spoke with him two weeks ago to inform him that he would not be needed next season. The player promised his coach that he would change the dynamic in his life off the field, which is why the coach is sceptical of him. Jules Kounde is Xavi’s fantasy defensive signing, he told president Joan Laporta and director of football Mateu Alemany.

According to Xavi, on Esports3, Laporta approached Pique and received a startling response. Pique stated that he would enhance his level for the next two years of his contract.
Pique stated that he would put his personal life and other interests on hold to focus solely on football. There was no Twitch, no social media, no business; there was only football. He still believes he is capable of playing at the highest level, and he has been reporting to the club’s training site every day at 9 a.m. to work on his abductor injury.
On the same programme, Xavi Torres revealed that the defender told the president that he wanted to finish his contract and would take a pay reduction to help the club sign new players.
Pique was so confident in his own abilities that when Laporta announced the arrival of a top defender, Pique responded, “I will be the starter.” Bring the best centre-back in the world if you dare, and he will come as a substitute.” Pique expects to rise to the occasion.
Due to Barcelona’s precarious financial circumstances, Gerard Pique’s future is in doubt.
According to Marca, La Liga president Javier Tebas informed the Catalan giants that because of financial difficulties, they will be unable to recruit Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski this summer.
This could indicate that the five-time European champions are considering reducing their pay bill soon. Pique, 35, could be the first out the door, according to Diario AS, because of his alleged £16 million annual salary.
The Blaugrana are confused about how to manage the defence after releasing a club legend in Lionel Messi last summer. His current contract is up in two years.
They recognise, however, that his high wages, injury issues, and proclivity for being “at the centre of disputes” make him a perfect candidate for firing.
