First, it was Xavi. Then, Andrés Iniesta's time to leave came. Last year, it was Lionel Messi, and next summer, that trio will be joined by another member of that legendary team who will end up leaving his boyhood club when this season comes to an end.
According to a report by Catalan newspaper Sport, the end of an era is fast approaching at Camp Nou is the team's plans come to fruition, as Sergio Busquets would be getting ready to part ways with the Blaugrana side.
The report by the Catalan media outlet states that Busquets' talks with the club to see his contract extended have failed, which is why he has decided to end his tenure at Camp Nou by the end of the season. Busquets wanted a one-year extension with the possibility of including one more, while Barcelona offered him two years but with a heavy paycut. Talks came to a halt last summer, and it seems highly unlikely at this point that the Blaugrana icon puts pen to paper to a new contract.
While his future may still seem uncertain, Busquets has been tempted to join Inter Miami next summer. In fact, the American club had already offered the Spanish midfielder a chance to sign a deal with them last summer, but Busquets turned it down in favor of one final season with the Blaugrana side.
Busquets will put an end to a 15-year stay at Camp Nou, where he won almost every title Barcelona played for during his time there. Some of those accolades include eight La Liga crowns, seven Copa del Rey titles, three UEFA Champions League trophies, and three UEFA Super Cup wins. Busquets will put an end to his love story with Los Culés after winning 30 trophies with them, the third-highest total in club history behind Lionel Messi (35), Andrés Iniesta (32), and level with Gerard Piqué.
