Long-serving midfielder Sergio Busquets to leave Barcelona after 18 years

x2ppcyly53sf.jpg

Sergio Busquets Burgos is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for La Liga club Barcelona, where he is the captain. He is considered to be a deep-lying playmaker capable of directing gameplay through short and calm passes, exceptional positioning, and his singular reading of the game. Midfielder Sergio Busquets to leave Barcelona after 18 years at Nou Camp; 34-year-old Spain international has played 719 times for the club he joined as a teenager; Busquets will leave when his contract expires on June 30.

Busquets has spent his entire professional career at the club where his father also played, but announced in a Twitter video he will not renew his contract when it expires on June 30. He has been captain of his boyhood club since 2021.

The 34-year-old first joined Barca from Jabac Terrassa as a 15-year-old and went on to make more than 700 appearances for his local club, winning 23 major honors including eight La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues.
Even in latter years, Busquets has continued as a regular member of the Barcelona first team and has made at least 30 appearances in each of his 15 seasons with the senior squad.

His emergence served as a hallmark of the Pep Guardiola era in Catalonia, as he was handed his first La Liga appearance by the then-new boss in September 2008 and went on to form part of a formidable midfield trio alongside Andres Iniesta and Xavi, the current Barcelona manager.

Busquets' final game for the club could be a newly announced friendly against Vissel Kobe in Tokyo on June 6, giving Barca's famous midfield trio a fitting send-off with Iniesta still a regular player for the Japanese side, and Xavi the current head coach of Barcelona.
