The acquisition of FC Andorra is the latest business move by Pique.

Kosmos were given approval by the International Tennis Federation to revamp the Davis Cup, transforming it into a season-ending tournament held in one venue as opposed to the current format which spreads ties out over months in different countries.

Pique has also launched business ventures in esports, video games, eyeglasses, isotonic drinks and organic hamburgers.

Mundo Deportivo reported that Pique could also retire from football in 2020 to focus on running for Barcelona's club presidency in 2021.
