Update on Sergio Busquets’ contract extension at Barcelona: The Spaniard reportedly does not want to renew his contract with the Catalans and will leave the club this summer when his contract expires
Sergio Busquets has decided to leave Barcelona at the conclusion of the current season, when his contract expires, according to a news report by Marca. On May 9, the decision was announced to the club informally and a formal statement is anticipated to follow soon.
Busquets, who has been the team captain for Barcelona for 15 years, has been thinking about leaving for a while. According to reports, he had experienced pain from witnessing the team’s downfall in previous years, as several of his comrades have already left the club.
Busquets had made the decision to leave Barcelona despite the club’s efforts to retain him for an additional year by offering him a reduced pay. According to reports, Barcelona icon Xavi Hernandez sought to persuade Busquets to stay since he saw him as an important component of his team’s strategy.
Given that Barcelona is set to win the Liga this season, Busquets can be counted on to leave with a fantastic trophy in his possession. Having played a crucial role in the team’s triumph, he reportedly wants to go on a positive note.
Where will Sergio Busquets go when he leaves Barca?
His probable destinations have been the subject of rumours and conjecture, but nothing is official as of yet. It’s also unknown if he’ll retire or play on for another team. Al Nassr apparently made him an offer, but we might have to wait and see what transpires.
