Although they arrived together at Inter Miami in 2023 to rekindle the partnership that excelled at Barcelona, the paths of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets could separate again in the coming months. While the "Pulga" is on track to renew his contract for one more year, the Spanish midfielder is reportedly preparing for his retirement from professional soccer.
The news was reported by journalist Nacho García on the program Tiempo de Juego of Cadena COPE. At 37 years old, Busquets is said to have decided to end a career spanning more than 17 seasons, after making his debut with Barça's first team in 2008 under Pep Guardiola.
Busquets's contract with Inter Miami ends in December 2025; however, at a press conference a few weeks ago, he avoided confirming a renewal, which fueled retirement rumors.
