Report: Busquets farewell to Barça decided

Sergio Busquets has decided to leave FC Barcelona next season. Then it should continue for him in the MLS.

Sergio Busquets has had the FC Barcelona logo on his chest for a little over 17 years since 2005. He joined the Catalans when he was still young, and since then he has experienced a lot with the club, won numerous leagues and titles and has become a figurehead. Both for the club itself and with its own style of play.

An era that will end next summer. The then expiring contract will not be extended. The 34-year-old has committed to this, according to the Spanish Sportnow finally decided.

Busquets decision: first out at Barca, then move to Miami

He is aware that he will not be able to keep Barca’s level as he gets older. At the same time, however, he still feels fit enough to tackle an adventure that he has been eyeing for a long time: He would then like to switch to the MLS and play there for Inter Miami.

He has already made that decision. Regardless of the fact that the FCB managers would have preferred a further contract extension.

The possibility of leaving the club this summer was assured to him when he last extended his contract. Theoretically, another year or two would have been possible. Players and club had already discussed this scenario. But Busquets now prefers to say goodbye.

However, the report goes on to say that he would like to design this in the best possible way. That means: as successful as possible. In the best case, there is a kind of repetition of the Xavi farewell from 2015, who was still able to get the triple. Whether Barça is already strong enough after the upheaval remains to be seen.

The Catalans are said to have already identified a possible replacement for Busquets in Chelsea’s Jorginho.
