At that time, it was recalled that, in his last contract extension with the board of directors of Josep Maria Bartomeu, [Pique] signed a contract until 2024 but that the last season, 2023-24, was subject to the fact that in 2022-23 ( the current one) played at least 35 percent of the games in which he was fit, counting that he had to play at least 45 minutes. Right now that percentage to renew was not met.

However, as MD was able to confirm from club sources, that clause no longer existed for this season [as part of the terms agreed with Laporta in 2021] and, therefore, was not valid. The 35 per cent of the minutes clause was abolished when Piqu? renegotiated his contract in August 2021.

Finally some semblance of proof that the amigos had in their contracts clauses where they had to play x% of minutes under Bartomeu. I wonder what the % was for others like Messi, Suarez, Rakitic and whether Busquets still has some type of clause.

The cycle continues. He's fine vs low tier La liga teams but as soon as we play a team equal to or showing more intensity, he's a liability.

He'll have a decent World cup due to how mediocre International football is these days, that will confirm in Xavi's mind he isn't finished. The first Europa league match we play he'll be utterly exposed again.

Depends on where Spain finishes. If it's group stages, then for sure. But he will get exposed during the knockouts. Especially against the likes of Germany, France, Brazil...

He's finished, but it's Xavi's fault for playing him every game he can and never learning.
