“I have more or less thought about my future. Now there are a few days off and when I return I will surely notify the coach of my decision.” Word from captain Sergio Busquets after the win against Osasuna and coinciding with the day Messi finally broke with PSG. The Argentine traveled a day after the league defeat on Sunday against Lorient due to a publicity commitment with Saudi Arabia and the Parisian club sanctioned him with a two-week suspension, according to RMC.

The captain, who has an offer to renew for another year charging 70 percent less, would find it more appealing to stay if he can play alongside Leo Messi, with whom he had plans to meet in the MLS in a future that seems increasingly farthest. As La Vanguardia has learned, he has ruled out going to the United States and continues to have an offer from Saudi Arabia on the table, just like Messi.

From the bench he will try to convince him to continue with Xavi Hernández. “It’s crucial and vital for the team, we’ll see what he decides. We’re going to wait for him. I understand his situation,” Xavi replied in the press room.

Although the captain ended up touched by the poor results and the low level that he himself and the team had in the Champions League, he has felt good and valued in this second stretch of the season. “We have had a very good season in the League, being very consistent and solid in defense with many clean sheets. In the end we are deserving of this title and hopefully we can celebrate it as soon as possible”, added Busquets.

Busquets enjoyed the goal that his teammate and friend Jordi Alba scored against Osasuna. A target that brings the Barcelona team closer to the League. “Each title for Barcelona is special. We haven’t won the League for a long time and for someone from home it’s important. The team is having a great season. There are people who haven’t won any title and who are going to be able to win many,” he said a melancholic and vindictive Jordi Alba who had to be convinced to attend DAZN.

“To be a winger I am lucky to have scored many goals. Today it was very important to win to try to reach the League as soon as possible,” added the Barcelona winger, who came on in the second half and explained that he was “aware” that he could do damage “as the game was” and that Frenkie de Jong, the author of the assist on the goal, left it “very well”.
