According to Vozpopuli, as cited by Sport, the veteran defender could be detained this week after being accused of sexual assault at a Barcelona nightclub.
The 40-year-old, who currently plays for Mexican side UNAM Pumas, was in Catalonia over the festive period, reportedly to attend a funeral.
It was in the Spanish city that a woman accused him of touching her beneath her underwear, accusations the iconic fullback strongly denied.
"Yes, I was in that place, with more people, enjoying myself," he recently said, according to Football Espana.
"And people who know me knows that I love to dance. I was dancing and enjoying myself without invading the space of others.
"I don't know who that lady is. You arrive at a bathroom and you don't have to ask who's there.
"I have never invaded anyone's space. How am I going to do it with a woman or a girl? No, for God's sake."
