After signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr have their eyes set on signing Sergio Busquets from Barcelona. The iconic midfielder’s contract runs out at the end of the season, and he hasn’t started talking about a renewal as of yet.
By the looks of things, the Spaniard could leave his boyhood club to take up a new challenge. There have been rumours linking him with a switch to the MLS a few weeks ago – with Inter Miami one of the teams interested in signing him as a free agent.
Al-Nassr have Sergio Busquets signing in their plans next year
The Saudi Arabian club are preparing a contract worth €13 million per season net to bring him over. And financially, it might be one of the best offers he gets.
Barcelona manager Xavi has been clear about his desire to keep his former teammate at the club beyond the current season. But, there isn’t any firm agreement on the renewal as of yet. A renewal between the two parties could also be made more complicated by the Financial Fair Play sanctions placed on the club.
However, it all comes down to what plans Sergio Busquets has for the coming years of his career. He has won every available trophy with Barcelona, and is on the hunt for another league title – with the team currently leading the table.
Barcelona have considered playing Frenkie De Jong as the central pivot should the veteran leave. There have also been rumours linking N’Golo Kante with a move to Camp Nou. But, the Chelsea player is expected to have contract renewal talks soon which might hamper the chances of a free transfer in the summer. Barca are also not relying on Franck Kessie to play regularly in defensive midfield, and could offload him if they can sign Ruben Neves from Wolves.
