The case of Gerard Hamred is already at the center of the Barcelona controversy. Indeed, in the club there are doubts about the center of the defense. In addition to his recurring physical problems last season, the club believes he is often at the center of problems due to the controversies he faces and his work outside of football
It also seems that his file with the economic situation in which the club is a problem. Pique receives 19 million net worths per season. At the age of 35, the entity realizes that his performance is not in line with the amount he is paid, but he still has two more seasons on his contract.
At the moment his salary is a huge burden for the club who need to cut their salary bill. Pique’s hypothetical departure will be an important respite for Barcelona to face deals for Lewandowski or Bernardo Silva, among others
At the moment, Barcelona does not know how to deal with Pique’s case, because he is one of the club’s legends and one of the main references for the fans, so everything seems to indicate that it is the player himself who decides when and how he will leave Barcelona.
However, in an interview with El País in October 2011, the center back asserted: “I will not agree to retire as a substitute.” A phrase that recalls the one he said in 2019 after 2-8 in Lisbon, when he assured that he would be the first to step down if there became a problem. We will see if Pique thinks it is time to step down or decides to continue at Barcelona. At FC Barcelona there are those who understand that the second option would be best for all parties
