Barcelona star Gerard Pique is adamant he won’t be forced to leave the club despite Xavi being ready to cut him loose, according to reports. The Spain international has been a consistent part of the side ever since joining from Manchester United back in the summer transfer window of 2008. However, his future in Catalonia is now shrouded in uncertainty after blockbuster developments emerged on Monday.

One player who may leave Barcelona is Frenkie de Jong, however.
Signed from Ajax back in the summer transfer window of 2019, big things were expected of the Netherlands international.
Yet his time at the club has so far failed to live up to expectations, with De Jong struggling for consistency.
Manchester United are growing increasingly confident of luring him to Old Trafford, with the Red Devils now managed by the midfielder’s old boss Erik ten Hag.
And Barcelona fans would likely prefer to see De Jong leave over Pique given all the veteran has achieved over the years by comparison.
