"“I am really happy at Barcelona. It’s the club of my life and I want to continue playing for Barca. My idea is to end my career there. I like Italy and Italian football, but my love for Barcelona is very big. Maybe if I was younger and hadn’t had the career I’ve had with Barca, I could have tried Italian football, but I can’t imagine myself away from Barcelona now.”Pique On BarcelonaMore from Everything BarcaFC Barcelona tracking Belgian WonderkidFC Barcelona vs Betis Player RatingsBarça boss Xavi to get contract extensionFC Barcelona planning swoop for Arsenal midfielderBarcelona interested in €30 million wonderkid"
