Gerard Pique has reportedly been told that he can leave Barcelona in what is a fresh blow to the Spanish international.
The former Manchester United defender has endured a miserable year thus far having split from singer partner Shakira. A statement from the pair earlier this month confirmed their separation. It read: “We regret to confirm that we are parting ways. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding."
Whilst his personal life has gone awry, his future on the pitch now also looks uncertain. According to Spanish outlet Sport, Barcelona boss Xavi held a meeting with the centre-back and told him that he was not needed for next season.
