Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has said that he has no intention of leaving the club.

The 27-year-old has found himself on the bench on a number of occasions this season, but he has revealed that he wants play for the club until he retires.

"I love this club for its history, its style of play and its connection to Catalunya," he told FourFourTwo.

"I love it here. I am at the best club in the world right now. I have no intention of leaving now or later. I've just signed a new contract and I want to retire a Blaugrana, just like [Carles] Puyol did.

"You never know what the future holds, but right now, I love this city, I love the people in the club, and most importantly, I love the institution. I don't see myself leaving."

Pique has won the La Liga title four times and the Champions League twice during his time at the club.
