He betrayed Messi and then retired, now he'll earns millons with a hotel
This was one of the most emblematic players of Barcelona's golden era.
Lionel Messi was the great architect of Barcelona completely dominating football and being considered by many as the best team in the world. La Pulga became the greatest culé idol and broke all kinds of records with the Blaugranas, but they paid him by not renewing him in 2021 and then, as if that were not enough, they also closed the door on him in 2023, when the man from Rosario expressed his desire to leave. return with the pass in his possession after his hostile time at PSG.
Who were the culprits of this? The main targets are Josep Maria Bartomeu and Joan Laporta. The first generated a brutal financial imbalance that put Barcelona's economy in check, while the second made false promises that he later could not fulfill. Now, this list of those responsible also includes Gerard Piqué, who betrayed Messi by telling the second of the aforementioned presidents that, if he was not renewed, all the club's financial problems would be solved.
Finally, Laporta listened to the former defender, but the financial problems were far from being solved. Furthermore, Piqué's betrayal came to light and his relationship with the top Ballon d'Or winner (8) was completely broken. Now, Gerard is retired and remains linked to football through the creation of the Kings League, a novel competition that he founded together with the popular Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos and in which Sergio Agüero participates as president of one of the clubs.
Piqué will also generate millions in hotels
The former defender invests in different areas to continue adding zeros to his bank account, and in the last few hours it was learned that the new business he entered was hotels. As reported by the newspaper La Vanguardia, Piqué will open a five-star Meliá hotel in one of the most exclusive areas of Malaga that will have five floors and 128 rooms.
