After retiring from professional soccer as a player, Gerard Pique surprised the soccer universe with his new project. Along with Ibai Llanos, the FC Barcelona legend launched a new tournament. Both of them named it the Kings League. In the beginning, most of the people thought about it as a short-term source of entertainment.

But week-after-week interest started building around the league. From its inaugural season, Pique earned a seven-figure amount as just profits. While the second season has already begun, major European soccer clubs have secretly expressed their interest in joining the league too. Without a doubt, nobody would have initially expected Pique’s unique soccer league would reach such heights.

Which soccer clubs want to join the Kings League? And why?

From the looks of it, Gerard Pique and Ibai Llanos are now fairly settled with the Kings League. Recently, the soccer veteran signed a broadcasting deal. The league is already associated with big names like Sergio Aguero, Neymar, Ronaldinho, and many more. But a recent development suggests that even soccer teams are now interested in probably submitting a team.

Interestingly, clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and River Plate are reportedly interested. Senen98 recently revealed, “We do know that Madrid have asked for a meeting and that Barcelona have already had meetings. Milan has asked for a team, River. that I didn’t know”, as compiled by Vandal Random and translated by Google Translate. In all honesty, a deal between FC Barcelona and the Kings League seems likely considering the ‘Pique’ factor.
