Barcelona’s Sergio Busquets Joins Messi at Inter Miami
Sergio Busquets, one of the most highly regarded midfielders in the modern era, is on the verge of completing a move to Inter Miami, where he will reunite with his former FC Barcelona teammate, Lionel Messi. According to a Major League Soccer source familiar with the negotiations, Busquets is in the final stages of securing a two-year contract with the American club, with an official announcement expected in the coming days. This news follows Messi’s announcement on June 7 that he intends to join Inter Miami, although the finer details of his contract are still being worked out.
After spending an incredible 18 years at Barcelona, Busquets, who will turn 35 in July, revealed last month that he would be leaving the club. Throughout his illustrious career at Barcelona, Busquets amassed an impressive collection of 31 trophies over 719 appearances. This includes three Champions League titles, three FIFA Club World Cups, eight La Liga championships, and seven Copa Del Reys. His contribution to the club’s success has been monumental, making him a legendary figure in Barcelona’s history.
Busquets has been an integral part of Barcelona’s midfield, often playing the role of a holding midfielder with exceptional skill and tactical awareness. Many pundits and fans consider him to be the best player in that position in the modern game. His ability to read the game, break up opposition attacks, and distribute the ball with precision has made him a crucial component of Barcelona’s playing style for over a decade.
Match Highlights
The impending move to Inter Miami will not only see Busquets join forces with Messi once again but also offer him an opportunity to embark on a new chapter in his career. It is worth noting that Inter Miami currently has a different salary structure compared to Barcelona, with Josef Martinez being the highest-paid player on the team, earning $4 million. However, Miami only contributes a fraction of that amount as part of the agreement made with his former club, Atlanta United.
To accommodate the potential arrival of high-profile summer signings, Inter Miami might consider offloading Mexican midfielder Rodolfo Pizarro, who earns $3.5 million. This could open up space on the team’s roster and wage bill for Busquets and other marquee signings.
Busquets has previously expressed admiration for Major League Soccer, having been impressed by Inter Miami’s training facilities during a friendly match between Barcelona and the American club at DRV PNK Stadium last summer. He has been a devoted fan of the league since his former Barcelona teammate David Villa joined New York City FC in 2014.
The prospect of Busquets donning an Inter Miami jersey has generated excitement among fans and pundits alike. The Spanish midfielder’s exceptional skills, experience, and leadership qualities would undoubtedly strengthen Inter Miami’s squad. His arrival would bring a wealth of knowledge and winning mentality to the team, which could prove instrumental in their pursuit of success.
Former Inter Miami coach Phil Neville commended Busquets on his remarkable career, recognizing his invaluable contributions to Barcelona over the years. Neville acknowledged that leaving the club he has been a part of for his entire life would be an emotional and challenging decision for Busquets. However, he expressed hope that Busquets would make the right choice and hinted at the possibility of the midfielder joining Inter Miami.
As negotiations between Busquets and Inter Miami near their conclusion, the footballing world eagerly awaits the official announcement. The arrival of such a distinguished player like Busquets in Major League Soccer would undoubtedly raise the league’s profile and enhance the competitiveness of Inter Miami. For Busquets, it presents a fresh opportunity to showcase his talent on a different stage and contribute to the growth of football in the United States.
