Gerard Pique is reportedly set to come out of retirement, three years after hanging up his boots.
Pique, 38, is one of the finest players of his generation, having played for the likes of Manchester United, Zaragoza and Barcelona.
The Spaniard made more than 600 appearances for Barcelona, scoring 52 goals.
He also lifted nine La Liga titles and three UEFA Champions Leagues, among other trophies.

On the international stage, Pique was capped 102 times by Spain, winning the Euros and the World Cup once.
Back in November 2022, Pique announced that he would retire after Barcelona's match against Almeria on November 5, a game in which he started as captain before being substituted with 83 minutes on the clock.
Now, with the January transfer window around the corner, it has been claimed that Pique is set to come out of retirement.
According to a report by RTVA, Pique will return and play for FC Andorra, a club he bought back in December 2018.
FC Andorra is currently 13th in the Segunda Division, the second tier of Spanish football.
The report claimed that after a new economic sanction, Pique will play for the club in January.
Back in 2019, Pique explained why he chose FC Andorra as his club.
He said, as per the BBC: "The main difference with other clubs in Spain is here there's a whole country backing up the team.
"We don't want to be just an investor, we want to be involved in the team, to make it better and place the team in higher divisions."
Pique added: "Having former professional players involved in lower-division teams is something positive.
"It gives them extra support and make these leagues more interesting, for supporters and media."
It has been claimed that Pique could make his return to the pitch on January 4, when FC Andorra take on AD Ceuta at the Estadio Alfonso Murube.
