Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has revealed that he would rather retire at the age of 29 if the alternative meant playing for another club.
The centre-back, who came through the club's famed La Masia academy, has been a mainstay for the Catalans since returning from a spell with Manchester United in 2008.
The 28-year-old has enjoyed a trophy-laden stint at Camp Nou since his return, picking up five Liga crowns, two Copa del Reys and two Champions League titles.
"I'll retire at Barca. I don't know when - the older I am, the better. I'm sure about that; I can't see myself wearing any other shirt," he told Marca.
"If I see that next year I'm not up to scratch, I'll hang my boots up at 29 years of age. I don't associate this sport with anything except Barcelona."
Further honours lie on the horizon as the newly-crowned Liga champions face Atletico Madrid and Juventus in finals of the Copa del Rey and Champions League in the coming weeks.
