Andorra FC coach Eder Sarabia would be happy to sign Barca star Gerard Piqué. The curious thing: Piqué bought the Spanish second division club in 2018.
Will Gerard Piqué play in the second division soon? A scenario that doesn’t seem so unlikely for the Barça icon. Second division club FC Andorra have expressed interest. The curious thing about it: Piqué bought the club in 2018.
Gerard Piqué was trained at legendary Barça talent factory La Masia. Via the detour of Manchester United, the world and European champions have become an institution in Barça’s central defense since his return in 2008. But the signs of the times have not left piqué untouched either. In the current season, the now 35-year-old is no longer set, but rather only an emergency nail. His time as a player at Blaugrana should be over by the end of his contract in 2024 at the latest.
It is quite possible that Piqué will then add a few more professional years to it. And at his own club. In 2018 he bought FC Andorra and made plans to take the club from the fifth tier to the Champions League. He could soon help himself on the pitch on this path. The coach of the current second division team Eder Sarabia would welcome that: “Get Piqué? I would do that with my eyes closed,” said the 42-year-old to the radio station El Larguero.
In any case, Sarabia is convinced that Piqué can play at a very high level for a few more years: “We last saw him in the Champions League and against Mallorca. He may be playing less at the moment, but he still has a few more years in the elite .”
