Well, not sure about Barcelona's debt, because Barcelona have done it many times and even many other players have been kind to Barcelona for example with Miralem Pjanić too.
It looks like if Barcelona can publicize the debt they have then of course it will destroy Barcelona themselves, but so far they seem to be doing well and I don't know why. Debt problem is a big problem but somehow Barcelona are not quick to overcome this, but at the same time Barcelona can recruit and build a luxurious squad, it really surprises me.
Yes, Gerard Pique is a great player in my view too but indeed, I also admit that Gerard Pique can no longer play for much longer. Unlike Thiago Silva who still has super strong power and is still playing in a tough league like the Premier League, but for Gerard Pique he can't force himself to stay strong and move fast. Because after all, Barcelona should have a full regeneration in the squad because Barcelona can't continue to play the old way.
He has only become a backup for the main squad in barcelona. I can't deny the regeneration is a must for the club to be able to get the new seed that will become a talented player like him in the future.
But unfortunately, Gerard Pique has decided to retire which means he will no longer be a professional footballer. Although indeed, if for example Gerard Pique offers himself to another team then surely there are still teams who will be willing to sign Gerard Pique for at least the next one to two seasons.
But I don't know whether it was purely because of his desire to retire or there were other factors that made him choose to retire suddenly like this. Because we know before that there was a case in Spain about Gerard Pique but I didn't follow the case, but maybe because the case triggered Gerard Pique to choose to retire. Maybe, because I also don't know if the case experienced by Gerard Pique was really bad or not.
