Catalan newspaper El Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona defender, Gerard Piqué(22), is being followed by European top clubs, including Real Madrid. Los Merengues’ Sports director, Miguel Pardeza, used to work with Pique when the former has occupied the same role at Real Zaragoza, thus Madrid believes they can convince the player to join them.
Piqué’s top-notch performances has not escaped the eyes of other big European football clubs, beginning with Inter Milan, whose central defenders, Walter Samuel and Lucio are both 31 years old. Nevertheless, ex-Barcelona forward, Samuel Eto’o, had praised his former team-mate. He is said to have spoken to his coach, Jose Mourinho and his new team-mates not only of Pique’s skills but also of the good harmony and joy that he transmits in the dressing room.
Another interest comes from the English Premier League, in the form of Chealsea FC and Manchester City.
Chelsea is looking for a decent replacement to refresh the centre back partnership of John Terry (29) and Carvalho (31) which seems to be nearing it’s end, while The Citizens on the other hand, are ready to sign anyone who is a star or soon o be one. For both teams, Piqué presents himself as a good bet, but in the case of Manchester City, it will also be a sting towards Manchester United, in which Piqué fell out of demand only to return to Barcelona and triumph over Sir Alex Ferguson’s team.
However, it seems Barcelona sees both Pique and Chygrynskiy as young bloods that will assure a good future pairing for the team’s central defense, and therefore wants to tie down the Spaniard.
