Pique confirms his departure from Barcelona

Defender Gerard Pique has announced that he will leave Barcelona in the January transfer window.

In a post on “Twitter” on Thursday, Pique said that on Saturday he will play his final match at “Camp Nou”, where Barcelona face Almeria.

In the published video, he announced that after joining Barcelona 25 years ago, the time has come for him to say goodbye.

His words have also been interpreted as meaning that Pique will say goodbye to football, as he has assured that he will not play for any other team. The 35-year-old developed as a footballer at Barcelona’s “La Masia” academy, before leaving the youth team for Manchester United in 2004.

However, he returned to Barcelona in 2008 and during this period has won everything there is to win at club level.

This season, his playing time has been limited, as he has made nine appearances in all competitions for Barça.
