“My future linked to Messi?”, Busquets quizzed on his future 

Barcelona icon Sergio Busquets will be bidding farewell to Camp Nou this summer, with World Cup winner Busquets confirming that he will be leaving as a free agent when his contract expires. There had been talking of the 34-year-old committing to a new deal if an emotional return to Catalunya was lined up for Messi – as his terms at Paris Saint-Germain run down – while there are also rumors to be found regarding a potential reunion for the pair in Saudi Arabia at Al-Hilal.  Busquets spoke about his future after his departure from the Catalan club, at the end of the current season. Barcelona had officially announced the departure of its captain, Busquets, from its ranks, at the end of the current season, after the end of his contract. Busquets told reporters when asked about his plans and whether they are linked to those of the Argentina superstar whom he once enjoyed so much success: “My future linked to Messi’s? Everyone wants to play with Leo; he is the best in the world. But my future is not linked to Leo’s future.” Busquets said in remarks highlighted by the Spanish newspaper "El Mundo Deportivo": "Everyone wants to play with Messi, he is the best in the world, but my future is not linked to him." He continued, "Each of us has our own family, life, and choices." Several press reports stated that Messi's partner, Antonella Roccuzzo, persuaded the Argentine star to move to Saudi Arabia after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired at the end of the current season. So far, there are no indications whether or not Messi will continue with Paris for a new period.
