Gerard Pique wants to see out his contract with Barcelona - Reports

Meanwhile, Pique will reportedly not be retiring this season and is hoping to see out his contract with Barcelona, which expires in 2024.

As per Mundo Deportivo, the defender is confident he can recover from his injuries and play for the club next season. He made 39 appearances in all competitions last season, contributing three goals.

He signed his contract in 2020 but had to revise it in 2021 to lower his wages by 50%. He did it so that the Blaugrana could register Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay, considering their troubled finances.

The centre-back himself stated that he would step down himself if he felt he wasn't fit enough to feature for the club. He said:

“If I see that I am losing importance or I see that I am not at the level, I have no problem leaving earlier."

Pique has been with the Blaugrana for 14 years since re-joining them from Manchester United in 2008. He hopes to continue his successful association with the club for a while.

However, it remains to be seen if the cheating allegations have any impact on his footballing career.
