Everything indicates that Sergio Busquets will leave Barcelona after this season, reports ASH. Xavi would already be aware of his captain’s decision. Busquets himself must now decide the most appropriate time to announce his departure.

Busquets said last Wednesday after winning the competition match with Osasuna (1-0) that he had already ‘more or less’ taken his decision about his future at Barcelona. The contract of the 34-year-old routine expires in more than two months, which means that he could look for another employer in the summer without transfer. Fabrizio Romano previously reported that the former Spanish international is expected to stay with Barcelona.

ASH writes now, however, that Busquets has informed his trainer during a mini vacation in Marbella with their wives that he will close the door at Barcelona next summer. The midfielder has a million-dollar proposal from Saudi Arabia in his pocket and may be able to make the switch to Al-Hilal just like Lionel Messi.

Busquets’ future at Barcelona has been a topic of discussion in Spain for some time. He made his debut for the Catalans in 2008 and has since played 719 games for the club. Inter Miami and Al-Nassr already tried to tempt Busquets into leaving Barça earlier this year, although the controller constantly indicated that he would not make a decision about his future until the end of the season. If Barça wins against fellow townsman Espanyol on Sunday, it will be crowned champion of Spain for the 27th time.
