Barcelona hoping Gerard Piqué and Jordi Alba leave in January - report

The fallout from Barcelona’s early Champions League exit appears to have begun in earnest with reports already flying about regarding the futures of several players.

Diario Sport are reporting that Barcelona are already negotiating with Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba about the possibility of a January exit.

Both players have slipped down the pecking order this season and are no longer guaranteed starters under Xavi at the Camp Nou.

The report reckons Barca will have to pay out €145 million if both players see out their contracts but are hoping to reach some sort of agreement with the duo.
