December 28-Barcelona captain Busquets has changed his mind and is now considering staying in the team due to coach Xavi’s persuasion and his friend Lionel Messi’s decision to stay in Europe, the World Sports News reported.
The media said that after Busquets communicated with Harvey, the situation changed greatly, and Harvey’s attitude had a great influence on Busquets on the issue of whether to stay or not. For Xavi, Busquets is a key figure in the team, and the Barcelona coach has expressed his attitude countless times. In the poor economic situation of the club, it is difficult to find a guaranteed replacement for Busquets. And if Busquets stays in the team, it means Barcelona can focus on other signings.
In addition to Harvey’s attitude, another influence on Busquets’s thinking was Messi’s decision. Busquets’s original idea was to be reunited with his friends in the United States. But according to recent French media reports, Messi will stay in Paris for at least one more year. Faced with this situation, the 34-year-old Busquets is willing to postpone his adventure in the United States by a year.
Although staying at Barcelona for another year means continuing to face a very high level of competition, the fact that he has quit the national team will give Busquets some respite, and then he can only focus on the Barcelona game. it also bought some time for the club to find a replacement.
