According to press sources, the Barcelona administration is preparing to hasten the exit of defender Gerard Pique, whose deal expires in the summer of 2024, in an effort to lower the salary cap.
The booing whistles from the crowd, whether when he said his name, when he entered the stadium, or when he touched the ball, pushed the need for Gerard Pique to leave the team after the current season, despite the Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez defending him and highlighting his role as a leader and in the locker rooms.
The administration is trying to use this reputation and the obligation to uphold it to convince Gerard Pique to leave and forgo staying to the end of his contract. This was confirmed by the Spanish daily “Sport,” which also named him the finest defender in the history of the team.
The publication made the point that Bicki’s positive reputation and his rich history in Barcelona cannot be damaged by his insistence on staying and sticking to his contract through the end of the 2024 summer, which is what he uses to try to convince him to say goodbye to his past.
For his part, Barcelona President Juan Laporta emphasised that the administration wants to lower the salary rate from 656 million euros to 500 million euros in the 2024–2025 season. Because the contracts of Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique expire in the summer of 2024 and Sergio Busquets’ contract expires in the summer of 2023, respectively, this reduction process will be sped up by the administration by releasing players before the end of the current season.
According to the newspaper, Xavi was upfront with Gerard Pique before the start of the season when he told him that he would play sparingly and that he had moved up to the team’s fifth defence, and that the best course of action is to look for a way out. However, Pique preferred to stay, and he advised Laporta to leave, but he refused, which enraged the club’s management, who became even more enraged after he refused to lower
Pique, 35, played in 7 games and 449 minutes in the Spanish League and the Champions League this season.
To cut costs, Barcelona wants to rapidly fire Gerard Pique.
