After their separation, Gerard Piqué and Shakira have been in everyone’s eye due to the various controversies that have surrounded them since then.
And it is that we remember that it was said that the athlete would have cheated on the singer with Clara Chia Martialthough some sources indicate that before that, he had already finished with the artist.
This Thursday, the athlete announced that he would retire from football, saying goodbye to the team that saw him grow up, FC Barcelona, which came as a surprise to many.
This was reported on his social networks just a few weeks before the start of the world cup. The footballer shared his decision in a video where he spoke about how important football has been for him, but it is time to retire.
“I have always said that after Barça there would be no other team. And so it will be. This Saturday will be my last game at the Camp Nou. I will become one more culé. I will cheer for my team. And I will transmit my love for Barça to my children, just as my family did with me”, he indicated.
They reveal the real reason why Gerard Piqué is retiring
Although much has been speculated about why he made the decision to retire, many had pointed out that it would be all about the pressure he has experienced after his break with the Colombian.
Now it comes to light that it could be another reason that would have to do with the Latin artist and that is to remember that a few weeks ago it was announced that due to an agreement between Barcelona and Spotify, the players would have to wear singer’s shirts and Piqué would have to do it with Shakira’s.
Given this, many are pointing out that this would be the reason why Piqué would have resigned, that is, as long as don’t wear Shakira’s shirt.
On the other hand, the famous paparazzi Jordi Martín, who has followed in the footsteps of the ex-partner, assures that he knows what the real reason is.
“It’s terribly wrong and the pressure has forced him to withdraw“, he told Informa Radio.
According to the photographer, the news was not planned to be released this Thursday and has surprised even those closest to him.
“It wasn’t planned to be today. The decision was made yesterday and when he asked for the video, everyone understood that the withdrawal was going to be after the World Cup,” says Jordi.
“He has surprised everyone around him very much. Why does this decision happen so quickly, in the middle of the season, when Barcelona is not that they have so many defenses either? This is a decision provoked because he wants to be president of the club one day and now his relation is very deteriorated with the Barça“, he added.
Likewise, Martín indicated that it is also due to problems in his company. “Piqué is having a terrible time in his company Kosmos, the organizer of the Davis Cup that has been a real fiasco. The organization of Davis in the semifinals in Valencia in recent days has been a failure. He is also implicated in an anti-corruption prosecution issue. He is so bad that the pressure has forced him to withdraw.”
