Shakira wants to move to another country

After the possible break-up of the couple was announced at the beginning of the week, it appears as if Shakira wants to move to another country, which she will do, but with her children.

“The artist does not want to continue living in Barcelona,” Informalia explain. “She has no friends or family here (except for Pique‘s) and the tax authorities have been after her for years, so she intends to move and settle in another country. With her children, of course.”

That is the situation that would cause problems, as the footballer does not want to be separated from his children, as they have been in Barcelona all their lives and a change of country could affect them and he does not see the need.

The same sources, according to the magazine, assure that neither of the two “is willing to give in on this point, so if an amicable agreement is not reached, things could get ugly”.
