During an interview between the two for 'The Players Tribune', Gerard Pique took the opportunity to invite James Rodriguez to come play for Barcelona.

Pique told James: "You can come to Barcelona whenever you want... I've always said you suit the club's profile, your way of playing, your way of understanding football.

"But, well, at the end of each one's career, because you never know where you're going to end, but you know you would be welcome.

Former Real Madrid player James, with a smile on his face at all times, merely responded with a simple "thank you".

After the request, Pique ended the interview and both players embraced in a hug.

James joined Madrid in 2014 but spent the last season on loan at Bayern Munich and will continue to do so next year.
