The certainty of Sergio Busquets' fate is still unknown today. There is a possibility of leaving Barcelona, but recently there is also the possibility of lasting longer.
Busquets has a contract until the end of this 2022/2023 season. Until ahead of the 2022 World Cup, Barcelona have not thought about giving the 34-year-old a new contract.
A number of reports have mentioned that Barcelona prefer to be ready to release the midfielder. A number of names have even been prepared to replace Busquets' role in Barcelona's midfield.
However, reports from Relevo revealed that Barcelona apparently had other options for the veteran player. The option is a two-year contract extension.
Offers Ahead of the Season End
Barcelona reportedly won't float the offer during the season. Instead, Barcelona only plans to offer a new contract at the end of the 2022/2023 season.
The decision was made because Barcelona wanted to evaluate his performance in his final season at Spotify Camp Nou. If it is still reliable, Busquets might last longer.
So far looking at Busquets' role at Barcelona, he has become an important figure in manager Xavi Hernandez's game system. He became a single pivot to support the movement of the two young midfielders in front of him, Pedri and Gavi.
Can Retreat Privately
Busquets is not unwilling to extend his contract at Barcelona. However, he understands that his salary has been cut quite a lot with Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba because of financial conditions.
For him, this matter cannot be taken for granted. Because, the big-paid players who are considered no longer in the team's scheme next season will be asked to have their salaries cut.
However, he emphasized that even if he is no longer needed, he can retreat personally. He didn't want any of the wrong labels to be attached to him.
