Manchester United have once again been linked with a £20m move for Gerard Pique of Barcelona.
The Catalan defender has been strongly linked with an exit from Barcelona in recent times with many of the clubs fans and media men torn over his form and impact on the team.
A return to Man United has been mentioned in both English and Spanish press and although Pique himself responded to the rumours with denial earlier this season; further links are being maintained.
“I love this club for its history, its style of play and its connection to Catalunya,” he told FourFourTwo last month.
“I love it here. I am at the best club in the world right now. I have no intention of leaving now or later. I’ve just signed a new contract and I want to retire a Blaugrana, just like [Carles] Puyol did.
“You never know what the future holds, but right now, I love this city, I love the people in the club, and most importantly, I love the institution. I don’t see myself leaving.”
The Spanish international was involved in an unsavoury police incident last week but started Barca’s game against Eibar on Saturday evening.
