Gerard Piqué
Gerard Piqué is one of the best center-backs in the world, the undisputed in his position at FC Barcelona. However, time passes and with it comes the moment to think about replacements. In the case of the blaugranas, the one called to take Shakira's boyfriend's place is Yerri Mina.
Yerri Mina is the preferred choice by the Barcelona board and his arrival could even be brought forward due to the controversy surrounding Mascherano's future. The 'Culés' would pay his release clause to Palmeiras and everything would go smoothly. The problem is that...
According to the Spanish newspaper 'Don Balón', Borussia Dortmund has also shown interest in the services of the Colombian center-back and would be willing to bid higher than Barcelona for his signing.
In Mina's circle, it hasn't been well-received that FC Barcelona initially decided to postpone his arrival at the club until summer 2018, even though circumstances have now led Bartomeu's club to alter their plans. That's why they haven't hesitated for a moment to emphasize that nothing is closed with the blaugranas. This circumstance explains why Dortmund has now decided to make a move.
