Ronald Koeman 'makes decision over Gerard Pique future'

New Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman reportedly wants to keep hold of experienced defender Gerard Pique.

The Spaniard's future has been the subject of debate in recent days, with Barca said to be keen to offload him during this summer's transfer window as the club look to move in a new direction.

Fulham - back in the Premier League for the 2020-21 campaign - have since been linked with the 33-year-old, who made 45 appearances at club level last term.

However, according to AS, Koeman has spoken to Pique over his future and has signalled that he wants to keep hold of the former Manchester United youngster despite the recent speculation.

The ex-Spain international has made 543 appearances for Barca in all competitions, winning eight La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns during his time in the first team.

Pique's current deal at Camp Nou is due to run until June 2022.
