Barcelona defender Gerard Pique offers retirement response

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique insists retirement isn't in his thoughts.

Pique has sparked fresh controversy after it emerged his company organised with the RFEF to take the Supercopa to Saudi Arabia.

Recordings of Pique and RFEF president Luis Rubiales discussing the switch in 2018 and 2019 have been released.

"If this case could cause my retirement? With that, I still have two more years," dismissed Pique.

The Catalan's involvement has raised concerns about conflict of interest.
