Barcelona veteran wants to play in the MLS with Messi and Suarez in 2023

Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets has been getting offers to play in the MLS since July 2021, reports Fabrizio Romano. He had turned down several initial proposals in favour of staying at Barça.

However, MLS clubs are expected to send in more offers this year, with Inter Miami leading the chase. Busquets has ruled out the chance of leaving for the United States but could leave in 2023 once his current contract expires, according to OnzeTV3.

David Beckham’s club, Inter Miami, are looking to lure Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in as well, and Busquets wants to end his career in the USA with the two Barcelona legends.

The MLS, for several years now, has become a destination for past-their-prime footballers to secure high-paying gigs while being the face of the franchise.

Beckham, Andre Pirlo, David Villa, Frank Lampard, Zlatan Ibrahimovic have all taken their chance their, and it seems the idea is becoming increasingly popular.

Napoli’s Lorenzo Insigne has already signed a pre-contract with Toronto FC and will move to the Canadian outfit in the summer. Neymar, too, has expressed his desire to play in front of an American audience.

As for Busquets, the Spaniard is now touching the age of 34 and will be 35 by the time he moves to MLS – if at all. With his contract set to clock up, it seems more than likely he will move to a foreign country, much like Xavi Hernandez or Andres Iniesta.
