Laporta confirms agreement to terminate Pique's contract 'advanced' -- Barca could save up to €30m

"Gerard has achieved everything for the club. He spent 25 years here, he's been a Cule from a young age. It was an honor to have him play for Barcelona", said Joan Laporta.

"The agreement to terminate Gerard's contract is advanced. He expressed his desire to help the club. He knows about our difficult financial fair play situation and there needs to be some adjustments".

According to multiple sources, the Barca veteran has given up on around €30m he's owed by the club.

A generous gesture or a clever move? We'll find out later, but the fact is that the club, who are struggling financially, will benefit from it.
