Why Pique is leaving, the Spanish press reveals the reasons

Gerard Pique's announcement that he is leaving Barcelona and will immediately retire from active football exploded like a "bomb" in the international press.

However, this is a development that for those in the know was not such a big surprise. The Spanish press today analyzes the reasons for the 35-year-old ace's decision.

Pique had stated at one point in the past that he would hang up his boots when he realized he was unable to meet the demands of a club like Barcelona. Since the summer, Xavi had made it clear that he would no longer be his main choice, but during the season he found out that he was the last. Even after countless injuries to defenders (most notably the loss of Araujo), the manager and his former team-mate did not seem to trust him, deploying the likes of Coute, Garcia, Christensen and Alonso.

This affected his psychology, and he was forced to come up with a solution. However, as reported by the Spanish media, Pique, while admitting he did not perform to the standards of previous years, was annoyed by Barcelona's attitude. He believes that no one from the club has protected him, both in the revelations about the transactions with the president of the federation, as well as in some of his mistakes, such as those in the last match against Inter at "Camp Nou".

Certainly not in the "earthquake" caused in the media by his separation from Shakira. Even, some sources close to the player say that he suspects that there was a secret "campaign" to discredit him by people close to the club, with the aim of getting him out due to the excessive contract.

A big question, now, is about what will happen to him. Pique was expected to collect around 80 million euros until the summer of 2024, money corresponding to the balance of his contract, but also some obligations from the past that the player agreed to pay off in order to relieve the debt-ridden club and make transfers . However, it is estimated that with Pique resigning essentially a year and a half before the end of his contract, the club will save around €50m just from the anticipated benefits he would receive.

However, Barcelona is already planning to strengthen its defense for the month of January. Joan Laporta is said to have agreed a huge transfer fee for a goalkeeper and Inigo Martinez is said to be top of the list. The 31-year-old international ace will have no problem playing a complementary role as his contract with Bilbao expires in the summer of 2023, he will not be expensive.
