New sporting director of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Jose Molina wants Gerard Pique to reconsider his decision to retire from international duty.
Pique previously indicated the 2018 World Cup would be his last tournament for Spain, who lost in the last 16 to hosts Russia on penalties.
"There are people who think it's better if I'm not here," said Pique, who is often jeered by Spain supporters due to his political views.
Former Barcelona team-mate Andres Iniesta announced his international retirement following the World Cup exit, with Spain captain Sergio Ramos hinting others could follow.
