Gerard Pique has addressed the possibility of Lionel Messi featuring in the Kings League after Neymar revealed that his former Barcelona team-mate had been in touch about the competition.
Neymar recently disclosed that Pique made an enquiry as the ex-defender continues to grow the Kings League project. That revelation has fuelled fresh talk about whether Messi could one day take part in the short-sided tournament.
Pique has now responded to those suggestions, while the discussion around star names and potential appearances continues to build.
The Kings League, created by Pique, has attracted huge attention for its mix of football and entertainment, and it has already drawn in well-known figures from the sport.
For now, Pique’s comments come on the back of Neymar’s admission that an approach was made, keeping Messi’s name in the conversation as fans watch closely to see which global stars may get involved next.
