​Barcelona defender Pique inks new deal with mammoth buyout clause

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has signed a contract extension until 2022.

The new contract also includes a £440m buyout clause.

The 30 year old Spain international has played 422 games for the Catalan club since rejoining from Manchester United in 2008.

"I'm very happy to have renewed my contract and I hope it will not be the last," Pique said. "I'm not interested in playing for another team. I play football because I play for Barca."
