Spanish giants Barcelona have agreed terms with
Manchester United to sign defender Gerard Pique on a four-year
deal.
The transfer will see the 21-year-old rejoin the Catalan
giants, who he left to join United in 2004 at the age of
17.
He is set to sign a contract with the Nou Camp outfit on Tuesday
afternoon.
A statement on the Barcelona website read: "The player will this
afternoon sign a contract that will link him to FC Barcelona until
June 30 2012 and which will include a buy-out clause of
£39.9million (50 million euros).
"With this transfer Gerard Pique returns to Barca, the club in
which he began his career as a player between 1997 and 2004, when
he left to join Manchester United."
