Sergio Busquets will be teammate of Lionel Messi again. The 34-year-old icon of FC Barcelona has signed a contract with Inter Miami, the club for which friend and former teammate Messi will also play.
Busquets previously announced his great love FC Barcelona to leave after the past season, a farewell by the club was largely silenced. The midfielder, known for his insight, good passing and calm on the ball, has become an icon of the Catalan club since his debut on October 28, 2008. The Spaniard, who won two European Championships and one World Cup with his country, made a total of 722 appearances for FC Barcelona.
Those matches yielded an unprecedented harvest of prizes, including nine national championships, seven Spanish cups and three Champions Leagues. Busquets, a product of the famous FC Barcelona youth academy La Masia, took many of those prizes together with Messi. The two will now play together again in Miami.
Reportedly, there was also serious interest from Saudi Arabia for Busquets, where a lucrative adventure awaited him, but he preferred Major League Soccer.
