The Badia midfielder ended his contract this year and is no longer linked to the Barça club
Sergio Busquets leaves FC Barcelona permanently. After 15 seasons in the first team, the Badia midfielder has announced his retirement in a video published on the social networks of the Barça team, confirming that he will say goodbye to the club of his life from June 30. Busquets has already made the decision to leave and has not agreed to the extension proposal that was on the table. Therefore, “Busi” will leave the Camp Nou and play his last games as a culé in the remainder of the season.
Xavi wanted him to continue at Barça
Barça tried to make a continuity proposal for Sergio, as he was a key player for Xavi Hernández. The coach offered his support both publicly and privately to continue at least one more season, considering him an important part of his plan. The club made him a low offer for an extension, and although the economic factor was not decisive in the player’s final decision, Sergio Busquets has communicated his final decision to leave Barça on June 30.. The announcement of his departure is not yet official, but according to various media, it is imminent.
Several interested clubs: Arabia, Qatar, MLS…
After his departure from FC Barcelona, Sergio Busquets will now become a free agent on July 1, the date on which he will no longer be linked to the Catalan club. It is speculated in various media that he has interesting offers. On the one hand, there is talk of a proposal that would come from an Arab club, while other media reports that it has several offers from MLS clubs. Among them would be Inter Miami. In any case, the club that wants Busquets does not have to pay a transfer fee, because as a free agent there will be no negotiations between clubs.
“Busi”, a career full of titles and successes
“Busi”, who has won 22 league titles with Barca, will be 23 when the Barca team finally wins the 2022/23 League, leaves the Barca club with an enviable record. In total, he has won 34 trophies as a player. Among his many achievements, eight leagues, three Champions Leagues and three Club World Cups.
In addition, with the national team, from which he retired months ago, Busquets was world champion in South Africa in 2010, having played up to 117 games with the Spanish team.
