Pique to join Barca

Pique

Manchester United young defender Gerard Pique has reportedly agreed personal terms with Barcelona over a four-year contract. Barcelona will now have to agree a price with the Red Devils to sign the player; the price being around £3.75 million. The Spanish youngster was brought up in the Barcelona academy and was transferred to the English Champions on the 1st July 2004.

After spending a season out on loan at Real Zaragoza, and impressing for the Spanish club, Pique came back to United to try and challenge the Ferdinand-Vidic partnership. Although he was very useful when injuries hit the Man Utd Champions League squad this season, Gerard never really established himself as a first-team player. It seems that now, after evaluating his chances of cementing a place in the starting line-up of next season, Pique decided to return to his homeland and join his former club.
