Barcelona defender Pique won't rule out standing for presidency

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has confirmed interest in becoming club president in the future.

Pique spoke with Marca as part of a Q&A with young cancer survivors connected to the CRIS foundation.

He said, "Not in the upcoming elections because I can't. I'm still a player and when you're a player you can't stand, but in the future you never know. I'm a massive Barcelona fan, as you all know.

"I'd like to help the club I love in the best way I know how, and that means being really well prepared to be president, if one day I think I can contribute something. If not I won't put myself forward. It's something I'll decide in the future, it's a dream I've always had, but I don't know if it will happen in the future."
