The Spanish defender's father, Joan Pique, has claimed that talks were at an advanced stage with Juve before Barca lodged a bid.
"Gerard was very close to joining Juve before he signed for Barcelona," Joan Pique told RAC 1.
Pique progressed through the Barca youth system before joining United in 2004.
