Busquets, either Saudi Arabia or Barça - but not Miami…
The Barça captain announced on Tuesday that he has already made a decision about his future - which some believe could see him reunited with Leo Messi.
Sergio Busquets gave Barcelona fans food for thought on Tuesday when he confirmed that his future had already been decided. However, the Barça captain protects his privacy so well that no one, certainly not even his own representative, Josep Maria Orobitg, knows what his plans are.

The only certainty that Busi did offer was he will not play in the United States next season. That basically means that Busquets has two options left open to him: either renew his contract and continue with Barça or accept an offer to play in Saudi Arabia.

That was a dream scenario that Busquets imagined over a year ago, when he exclaimed, “I would love to give the captain’s armband to Leo”. In the next few the situation will be a lot clearer, and that could also give us some clues about where Messi will be playing next season….
