During an interview, Pique was asked if Barcelona owe him any money, and he replied that the club don’t owe him as he forfeits the rest of his salary.
After asking if Pique can collect his dues now, he responded with Pique saying he didn’t expect the administration to be able to do so.
Then the former Barcelona defender added sarcastically: “They can pay me with Monopoly money.”
Monopoly, or “fortune banking”, is the world’s best-selling board game, and the idea of the game is based on players competing in an attempt to collect wealth according to certain rules by buying and selling real estate and by renting using counterfeit tickets provided by the game.
Pique’s sarcastic comments came as the Catalan club suffered the consequences of a severe financial crisis.
The club emerged from a financial crisis that resulted in losses amounting to €481 million in the 2020-2021 season, resulting in the departure of club legend Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain .
Last summer, the club raised around 750 million euros by selling 25% of the television rights to its La Liga matches, for the next 25 years, and 49% of the Barcelona studios.
