5 active footballers who have spent more than a decade with their current club

#4 Sergio Busquets:

It is difficult to believe that Busquets is still only 30 years old, given his staggering achievements in world football. In his 10 years’ association with the Barca senior team, Busquets has won 4 Champions League and 7 La Liga titles.

He also remains one of the best defensive midfielders in modern football. He is a very intelligent player who can also play as a sweeper at times. Busquets’ distribution and off-the-ball positioning are very good too.

He started his career as an understudy to Yaya Toure but replaced him soon in the starting line-up. He has played 506 matches for Barca till date and scored 13 goals.

Busquets still has some seasons left in him at the top level and would retire as one of the most successful footballers of all time. It is also very unlikely that he would leave Barca for any other club before his retirement.
