Pique almost joined Juve…

Juventus almost beat Barcelona to the signature of Gerard Pique in the summer of 2008, the player’s father has revealed.

The Spanish World Cup winner returned to the Nou Camp outfit three years ago after initially graduating through the club’s youth team.

He moved to Manchester United in 2004 and, after a loan stint at Real Zaragoza, he seemingly caught the attention of the Italian giants.

“Gerard was a step away from signing for Juventus before the Barcelona switch,” Joan Pique told Spanish radio show ‘El non a RAC1’.

Instead, the 24-year-old signed for the European champions where he has now developed into one of Europe’s top centre-backs.

Barcelona paid just £5m to the Old Trafford outfit for the stopper.

yeah bonucci or grosso are 200x better!

If I could only count the amount of players that almost joined Juventus compared to Simone Pepe- who needs them?
Pepe opened his doors this summer and allowed Elia a place on the bench, that was awfully nice of him.

LMAOO man I'm starting to really love your posts.

There must be a reason Pepe didn't sign Pique. Obviously Pepe thought tactically Pique wouldn't cut it in serie A.

Pepe has done well with his transfers this year.

I guess Pepe has the CB spot covered when we face major opponents.

Forza Pepe. (And the team he plays for)
PEPE

Pique really isn't that good hence why he couldn't stay in England & play the fast pace & harder football...
He had to went to barca where everything is spoon-fed to him...
