Gerard Pique let the cat out of the bag regarding Cesc Fabregas's transfer to Chelsea.
The Barcelona defender was speaking to Spain manager Vicente del Bosque at a promotional event and even though they covered their mouths their voices were picked up by an active microphone.
Both TVE and AStv managed to pick up the conversation. Pique had earlier spoken at a press conference, defending Fabregas.
He said: 'I love Cesc very much but he's going through a difficult situation.
'The club have never valued him as highly as they should have done. He would fit into any side.'
Pique told Del Bosque that he had supported Fabregas, to which the Spain manager replied: 'The president [of Barcelona, Josep Bartomeu] isn't going to be happy.
'You're going to drive him mad, poor guy. You're going to upset him.'
Pique replied: 'He [Cesc] told me it's all done. He's going. 33 million [euros] he told me.'
Although they did not state a location for Fabregas' transfer, Chelsea are believed to be the only English side close to sealing a deal for the former Arsenal star.
