Pique refused to accept millions of dollars from Shakira, the reason why many people were surprised

Shakira and Gerard Pique confirmed their split in June after a period of suspected problems. In a press release, the 35-year-old striker announced that he was no longer with Shakira after 12 years of love.

He wrote: "For the safety of the children, which is our top priority, we ask that privacy is respected. We thank you for your understanding."

Although everyone went their separate ways, the midfielder still tried to make peace with Shakira by breaking up with his new girlfriend. However, the female singer was cold.

According to Marca, Shakira hired two lawyers, Pilar Mane and Heli Abel Torrado, to help her gain custody of her children after splitting with Gerard Pique. The voice of La La La voiced this matter to be resolved by a mutual agreement without having to wait for the court to arbitrate. However, the player born in 1987 made a protest move.

Spanish media reported that the two-star parents advised their children to mend, or at least not push this decade-old love affair hailed as beautiful to legal trouble.

Offer million USD after breaking up

According to The Things, the Colombian pop star is six times richer than Pique. She owns a fortune of $ 350 million, while her former love is more modest with $ 55 million. Therefore, Shakira confidently offered to pay millions of dollars to Pique in exchange for custody of the children.

"Shakira wants to bring the children to Miami (USA) to settle down. She promises to take full responsibility for the children. Moreover, Shakira is willing to pay extra money for her ex-boyfriend to visit them," the source said.

Detailed in the offer, Shakira repeatedly emphasized that he would withdraw his wallet for the Spaniard to travel to Miami 5 times a year. All costs for flights, transportation and 5-star accommodation are covered by her. At the same time, she commits to having her two children with their father every summer.

In addition to the above, the singer La La La offered to help the player with an amount of up to $ 2.5 million, equivalent to 20% of the debt. Marca said Pique is embroiled in legal debts.

The Things said that Shakira's desire to move to Miami with Sasha and Milan seems to be a big problem for Pique. Since the custody battle began, Shakira has tried to bring the children here for a few short vacations.

In Miami, the pop star owns a luxury mansion worth more than 10 million USD. The property is about 809 m2 with 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. Outside is a private pier overlooking Biscayne Bay.

"Pique believes this will be the beginning of the severed relationship between him and his children," the newspaper wrote.

To prevent his old love, the striker born in 1987 did not let Shakira set foot in Miami, although in fact, he was also very open in finding a common voice with the woman he once loved so much.

Why does Pique object?

According to Spanish media, it is easy to see that Pique does not want to compromise before Shakira simply because he does not want to be away from two children. Behind that, however, is a deeper cause.

Most sports fans know Gerard Pique is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender for La Liga club Barcelona. He is considered one of the best midfielders of his generation.

Given his current position, Pique would find Shakira's multi-million dollar offer an insult to inadvertently reflecting his dismal financial situation. And more than that, the fact that Shakira wanted to bring her children to the US also implicitly made Pique known for not being able to take good care of the children, not fulfilling her father's duties, according to The Things.

"Pique is not as rich as his ex, but he certainly never accepted Shakira's money just to meet his children. As a person with a high ego, he felt disrespected when he heard Shakira's suggestion." newspaper wrote.

Coming up is a difficult time for Pique as she has to focus on resolving outstanding debt, the constant work schedule means less time spent with her children.

Pique cannot go to Miami until November because he is busy training, because it is likely that he will re-appear and may be in the official Spain squad for the 2022 World Cup, taking place in Qatar.
