A reality that most of not all Barca fans have either joked about or thought about. Pique is currently one of the few people I can think of that can replace Laporta and lead a success project. He helped land Barca the Rakuten deal which was one of the most lucrative jersey deals at the time, and he has kickstarted multiple successful sports business ventures.
He knows the problems of the club better than most, but he was also very good friends with Bartomeu. He could be a disaster but honestly he can’t do worse than the last few Barca presidents. I’d rather a former player lead our club than a bunch of business men who treat our players like cattle and hire media companies to manipulate fans and kick players out.
He is a massive risk, but in this chapter of Barca history, it would be a risk worth taking. Or is it?

It’s the only thing that can save the club
He could be a hit or miss, he knows the problems we are facing and hes been with club for basically his whole career. I feel like he would be a good fit for us !
I knew calls for pique as president would eventually happen but I can’t believe they are already here.
This dude is extremely slimy. The fact that Messi is friends with Ramos but wouldn’t even acknowledge Pique’s retirement should tell you a lot but because he is a business man and good looking I’m sure a bunch of people would vote for him.
Ofc he can have success with charisma and populism, but anyone who wants this mf to take the presidency clearly doesn’t have a clue about the insights and behaviours Pique had. I do not want a spoiled brat as President sorry
Oh, hell no! Maybe in a financially-related position, but I’d still have my doubts.
absolutely not, he’s a grifter who only cares about lining his own pockets and not about the club.
brilliant player but as a person, i prefer not to speak.
Nope, not a good look for the club. He’ll probably be in jail sooner or later. Don’t people know that he’s been involved in some shady stuff? He’s been associated with Luis Rubiales, who moved the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia, not to mention other scandals.
He is corrupt as a player, don’t want to picture how corrupt he can be as a president
Corrupt and shady keep away
He had a lot of scandals and corruption problems with his business and company. So no, thank you.
He’s charismatic and handsome but he has no credibility.
Our club needs credibility.
I’m not exactly sure about this considering some of his dealings lol (the SPANISH super Cup being in Saudi can be be partly attributed to him)
Terrible. Would be the end of the club as we know it
Pique president. Is it a joke? He will turn FCB into a full blown political institution. He will probably rename FCB the Catalan national team and will only recruit people with Catalan origin.
Heartwarming yet risky one
If came to be a CEO I would not disagree
He is another Laporta. Keep him away from Presidency.
None of you ppl run a company or is a business an
Being shady is needed in that field
Like truth be told it might feel hard to swallow but barca don’t need next big president or a next gem they just need time to make their finances clear out by selling player , buying cheaper players and accepting their financial problems.
If barca keeps on doing signing just to appeal fans and not the sporting project with finance then in some year things might get even worse like i would rather have a barca that can buy 80-100 million player after 3 years then buying 50-60
million player today while facing problem registering them and make 100 million + signing impossible.
Can this problem be solved quicker with better deals like with jersey etc then answer is yes but it may only faster the process from taking 3 years to 2 years but no president can solve the financial mess until taking radical changes that i don’t think pique can take as he is too active in media and his image first type person like he is more like laporta in many cases then being radically different.
I’m confused. Is this a sub for Barca or Messi fans?
Only thing in the world that he is loyal to is barca. So he will do the best for the club.
Circus show
I think he would do a great job.
Haha… no.
Noooooo
Anything is better than Laporta. Piqué could be a great president
