FC Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets may have exhausted his final days as a Barcelona player. The youth team player wants to end his career in Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States (possibly at Inter Miami) and will consider starting the adventure next January. However, with a valid contract, Barcelona are hoping to keep him until June
FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez asked Busquets to continue until the end of the current season, and in this way he exhausts his commitment to the club, which expires in June 2023. The coach, who has no alternative, counts on the midfielder until he finds a replacement for guarantees
Barcelona, which expects the captain to fulfill the contract he signed, also does not rule out granting him a six-month renewal (until December 2023) so that Busquets can start his new phase from the start of the season
Meeting
Busquets and Barcelona met in the coming days. The meeting was agreed upon before the player went to the World Cup in Qatar, where the Spanish national team bid farewell to the round of 16 competitions, which it lost on penalties to Morocco
The harmony between the two parties is good, and although Busquets’ departure will free up the wage bill and give the team ‘fair play’ to be able to face signing in the winter market, Barcelona does not support Busquets leaving the entity now
On December 16, Busquets has already resigned from the Spanish football team. The Barcelona captain, after the World Cup in Qatar, put an end to a career in which he played 143 international matches at the age of 34
