Barcelona announces Sergio Busquets departure
Barcelona have announced that Sergio Busquets will leave at the end of the season.
La Liga giant Barcelona have announced that midfielder Sergio Busquets will leave the Spanish club this summer.
It is confirmed that the Spaniard will leave as a free agent following an illustrious 18 years at the club, that included eight LaLiga titles and three Champions Leagues.
He is now expected to join Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, fuelling speculation that he could reunite with Lionel Messi for one more season.
“The time has come to announce that this will be my last season with Barca,” he said in a farewell video released by Barcelona.
“It has been a unforgettable journey. I always dreamed of playing with this shirt and at this stadium and reality has exceeded all my dreams.
“I wouldn’t have believed it you if you had told me when I arrived as a youth player that I would play 15 seasons at the best club in the world and surpass 700 matches.
“It has been an honour, a dream, a source of pride and meant everything to defend and represent this badge for so many years.
“Although it has not been an easy decision I think the time has come.”
