Barcelona keen to keep hold of Al Nassr target
Sergio Busquests is yet to pen a new deal at Barcelona, and his future at Camp Nou remains in the balance. Club president Joan Laporta has admitted that the midfielder has an offer from MLS and is letting the Spaniard decide his next step.
He said:
"Sergio Busquets? Xavi counts on him and is in favour of him continuing, I really hope Busquets stays until the end of the season, but of course, it's up to him. I know about MLS links but it's Sergio's decision."
Xavi has confirmed that he wants Busquets to remain at Camp Nou as he is still a key figure in the dressing room and also the pitch.
"It is always the same, three or four players are called out when you lose, this is Barcelona, it is normal. When you lose, we are all exposed. For me, Busquets, I wouldn't change a thing. He is still very important, he is key. There will be games that [Busquets] does not play. But Busi always raises things, he is the captain and part of the team's machinery. We have a very healthy dressing room. Things will end up coming off because I can see how things are working from inside."
Busquets has started 12 matches in the league this season, coming off the bench twice.
