Pique: I want to purchase a club and create a new football tournament LaLiga Santander - Barcelona Has two projects on the go

Gerard Pique has already made an impact in the world of tennis by playing a part in the reformatting of the Davis Cup and now he is turning his attention to shaking up the world of football.

While he is still playing for Barcelona, Pique is also looking ahead to the future.

"I'm working on two projects," he told L'Equipe.

"One of them is to purchase a team.

"Sadly, I can't say any more about that.

"The other project is to create a new football tournament or to use a competition that already exists.

"I can't say more about that either, but these two projects are very nice."

He also defended his involvement in the Davis Cup overhaul.

"The Davis Cup will never be the Pique Cup," he said.

"The Davis Cup is one of the oldest competitions in sport and what we've done is propose a change in the format to the International Tennis Federation."

The full interview Pique had with L'Equipe will be published on Saturday.
