Pique ready for Barcelona talks

Gerard Pique will welcome a conversation with Barcelona vice-president Jordi Mestre as the Antoine Griezmann transfer saga continues.

Griezmann, 27, had been widely expected to join the Catalan club this summer, but surprised many by re-signing with Atletico Madrid last week until 2023.

A documentary on France forward’s announcement to stay was produced by one of Pique’s companies, leading to criticism of the Spain international and questions from Barcelona’s hierarchy.

However, Pique, who celebrated his 100th cap in Spain’s 1-0 win over Iran Wednesday, was on the front-foot and keen to answer to Mestre.

“The relationship has always been open, we always have contact – we are going to talk and solve it.”
