Pique weighing up Barcelona exit

Catalan daily newspaper El Mundo Deportivo has suggested that Barcelona star Gerard Pique is considering his future at Camp Nou.

The 27-year-old has fallen out of favour with coach Luis Enrique of late and he is currently behind Javier Mascherano, Jeremy Mathieu and Marc Bartra in the pecking order.

And while the highly rated defender has refused to comment on the transfer speculation, El Mundo Deportivo has learned that Pique is seriously thinking about leaving the club.

Having retained his place in the Spain squad, the centre-back will have enough time during the international break to think long and hard about the new situation, and everything suggests that a January exit may be on the cards.

Premier League leaders Chelsea and his former club Manchester United are believed to be keen, while few more high-profile sides are likely to join the race as well.

Pique has enjoyed a lot of success since returning to Camp Nou, making 170 La Liga appearances and scoring 12 goals.
