Sergio Busquets Leaves Barcelona

Midfielder Sergio Busquets will leave Barcelona this summer, ending an 18-year association with the club. 

The 34-year-old made his first-team debut for the Catalans in 2008 after joining the youth team in 2005, but he has since decided to leave after declining an offer of a new deal with less favorable terms.  In a video farewell, he declared, "The time has come to announce that this will be my last season with Barca."

"The journey has been one I will never forget. I've always wanted to play in this uniform and in this venue, and reality has surpassed all of my expectations.


"If you had told me when I first came here as a young player that I would play 15 seasons at the best club in the world and surpass 700 matches, I wouldn't have believed you,"

For so many years, it has been an honor, a dream, a source of pride, and everything to defend and represent this badge.

"Although it wasn't an easy choice, I believe the time is right," the speaker said.

Busquet is third on Barcelona's all-time appearance list with 718 games played for the team. He has won nine league titles, three Champions Leagues, seven Copas del Reys, seven Spanish Super Cups, three European Super Cups, and three Club World Cups.
