According to the aforementioned information, Piqué has asked about buying the entity. The CEO of Reus is Joan Oliver, who was the general manager of Barça in the last two years of the Joan Laporta era as president of Barça. And it should be remembered that Joan Laporta, Oliver's friend, maintains a fluid relationship with Piqué.
Reus have had serious economic problems since September and the club is negotiating its sale with various business groups, but for now nothing has been fruitful. They need 5 million euros before the 5th of December to fulfill their obligations and avoid a possible relegation to Segunda B. Will Pique be their saviour?
