Real Zaragoza Dreams Of Piqué

Gerard Piqué was an impossible dream in the summer transfer market. Real Zaragoza insist the dream of signing Piqué is alive.

Real Zaragoza intend to make a January bid for Manchester United defender Gerard Pique.

Zaragoza failed to land Pique during the summer market after marathon talks with United, but are counting on the young Spaniard becoming increasingly unsettled in the coming months as he struggles to break-up the Rio Ferdinand-Nemanja Vidic central defensive partnership at Old Trafford.

Pique still has three years left on his existing United deal and is rated highly by manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Last Tuesday Gerard Piqué went to Zaragoza to visit his ex-teammate assured that "the door of the Real Zaragoza is open and will always be an option. Here they treated me very well, I was very comfortable and I keep a great memory. Will be up for sure".
