Gerard Pique would love to get the opportunity to have Spain team-mates Fernando Torres and Cesc Fabregas join him at Barcelona this summer.
Talk of Fabregas’ possible move from Arsenal to the Catalan giants has been reported on constantly since the Premier League season ended.
Pique is also interested in bringing Torres over from Liverpool despite the fact that Barcelona already made a big money move for a Spanish striker when they signed David Villa from Valencia earlier in the summer.
Despite the fact that Barcelona paid Zlatan Ibrahimovic a lot of money to come to the Nou Camp from Inter Milan, but the Sweden international was a disappointment in his first season for the club.
Pique thinks that signing Torres would be a brilliant move but understands that a move for the Reds star would be difficult to complete.
"It's complicated," Pique told Sky Sports.
"The operation for Fernando is a difficult one. I don't know to what extent there is interest or if it is press talk but if he came, they (Torres and Villa) would form an incredible partnership.
"They are very good players and when two good players play together, they are always compatible."
The 23-year-old defender has been impressed with Torres' performance at Liverpool and believes that the former Atletico Madrid hitman would thrive if he returned to La Liga.
"In the three years he has been there (in England), his statistics are excellent.
"He has scored loads of goals, played a lot for Liverpool and showed he has a great eye for goal.
"But we can't forget about Zlatan and Bojan (Krkic) because they are great players up front and I don't know about the (reported) interest in the footballers we have (at Barca)."
Amid all the speculation that Fabregas has requested a move to Barcelona, Pique hopes that a deal for the Gunners captain will get done very soon.
"I don't know when he'll come, but he will. I hope it's this year. The negotiations are under way, he will cost money but we hope it happens.”
