Pique wants to see out rest of his contract

Gerard Pique is nearly always in the news. The defender is used to receiving all sorts of criticism and he is not against it. 

This Monday, 'Sport' announced that the Barcelona defender will not stay at the club. That is what he said in a private meeting two weeks ago where the defender admitted that he would occupy a secondary role. 

Nevertheless, as 'El Partidazo de COPE' pointed out, Pique's intention is to see out his contract, which runs until 2024. In addition, the number 3 had no doubt that he will perform very well next season. 

Barca president Joan Laporta spoke to the central defender and he had a word with Pique because of the media coverage following his break up with Shakira. 

Pique is clear he can persuade Xavi Hernandez as he believes he has more than enough talent. But Xavi wants him to be 100% focussed on football, not on business matters or his private life. The number 3 is also willing to take another pay cut.
