The agreement of the footballer with the Barcelona entity expires on 30 June of the next year and, in spite of that the culés expect to retain him at least a course more, the main decision of the captain would be not renewing to put course to United States, where the Inter Miami expects him.

Further of what suceda with the '5', in the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou prepare for the future post-Sergio and already study the possible reemplazantes of the of Badía, with two names projecting above the rest. Such is the case of Martín Zubimendi and Rúben Neves, those who have been in the diary blaugrana from does a time and that they would be the elected to struggle by the 'witness' that will leave the legendary midfield player of Sabadell.

However, his operation antoja extremely complicated. The reason behind this is his fundamental role in the team 'txuri-urdin', where is one of the key pieces of his trainer. Thus, the square donostiarra renewed him until 2025 and would remit to his clause of rescission, which is priced in 60 million euros, a very elevated figure for the pretences of a Barça that follows working in 'sanear' his economy.

Xavi has the last word

Further of all this dilemma, Xavi Hernández will take the final decision in the arrival of the substitute of Busquets. The one of Terrassa has known lidiar with several uncomfortable situations, like the cases of Dembélé and Frenkie of Jong, achieving calm the waters and helping to the club. Nevertheless, it will be necessary to see if the ex Barcelona also will opt a conciliatory posture in this 'escollo', since the demarcation of mediocentro positional is transcendental in his drawing. And in this point, Zubimendi is the absolute priority of the technician.
