A Spanish press report said that Barcelona defender Gerard Pique’s announcement surprised the Catalan club’s management, as it came unilaterally without agreement on it in advance between the two parties
According to the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, the most important things that must be known about its fate at the present time are the money that Barcelona owes to his player Pique until the date of his announcement of retirement, in addition to the rest of his dues for the remainder of the current season, and the entire next season, as his contract expires in June 30, 2024
And the newspaper added: “The sums owed to Pique since the delay in the salary due to the Corona pandemic, and the remainder of the contract amount to 80 million euros, which are difficult amounts to pay in the current circumstances
And she continued: “If it was a unilateral decision, as is currently understood, Pique is supposed to waive these amounts, as happens when a coach decides to resign from his position
The newspaper indicated that there is a possibility that Pique will sit with the management and negotiate the terms of his departure, and the newspaper stressed that it is unlikely that Pique will receive all the money left for him
