Sergio Busquets gave 18 long years to his beloved club. The only club so far in his professional career. He is among the players with the most trophies in the history of football, on the threshold of winning the ninth championship title in Spain, and a total of 33 trophies in his club career. And he wants more.According to Marca, the 34-year-old from Sabadell is ready to extend his contract with Barcelona at least until the summer of 2024. Despite the triple salary reduction! In the case of remaining in Catalonia, Busquets’ earnings for the 2023/24 season would amount to 3,500,000 euros net.The player who was part of La Masia back in 2005 is aware of the financial situation in which the club is. In case of his departure, Barcelona would have to find a replacement, and given the poor financial fair play balance, they would not have too many funds for such a project.##NAJAVA_MECA_7172082##A shy mention of moving to MLS imposes ss the only remaining option for the potential continuation of Busquets’ career. However, such stories are far-fetched, and coach Xavi’s insistence that his long-time teammate from his playing days will help the team at least until the summer of 2024 makes it seem so.The title on home soil, the first after four years is certain, and the plans for the future are somewhat uncertain. Elimination in the group stage of the Champions League for two seasons in a row indicates the serious problems that Barcelona face when they have to play on two demanding fronts simultaneously. The impression is that Busquets’ departure from the club where he has been since the age of 17 would in itself destabilize Barcelona and burden it with one more problem in the transfer market next summer. The Blaugrana’s activity on it is questionable given the aforementioned problems with financial fair play.🚨 Busquets’ new salary would be around €7M p/y gross if renewed — three times lesser than what he earns now.― @Luis_F_Rojo pic.twitter.com/4KTmuO2GUG— FC Barcelona Fans Nation (@fcbfn_live) April 12, 2023 Busquets has shown his commitment to Barcelona many times and if he did it once again before the end of his career, he would have another chance for the last dance and a possible attack on the European throne next season.The emotions are there, the love is there, as long as money doesn’t spoil the romance once again. Knowing the leading actor of this romance – it should not.
