Footage has been released of Pique and Del Bosque talking about Cesc moving to an unnamed team for €33 million, unaware that the microphones are picking up their conversation. Here is a translation of what they said;
Pique: Defend Cesc a bit.
[Camera Cuts and returns to Pique and Del Bosque]
Pique: He has told me it is done, He has told me it is done.
Bosque: Him?
Pique: He is going, €33 Million, he told me.
Del Bosque: The president isn't going to win with this disappointment. It's quite a mess you're going to have on your hands.
Pique: No. No, he said, He's going crazy, poor guy.

It's as close a translation I could make using my own Spanish and reading what others have translated, some of what they say doesn't literally translate into English. I'm hoping if this is true and gets enough coverage, Cesc and Barcelona will have to come out in the open and clear this up, hopefully putting an end to this transfer saga.

Some people are also reporting that €33 Million works out at around £25/26 million the amount some believe to be the buy back clause we had the contract. Though this is purely speculation but I though I'd include it as a glimmer of hope, even though Chelsea and United have been strongly linked with him recently. Apologies if this has been submitted twice.
