Legendary Spanish midfielder Sergio Busquets has decided to retire from professional football at the end of the current MLS season, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The 36-year-old World Cup winner, widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive midfielders of his generation, will bring an end to a glittering career spanning nearly two decades.
Busquets spent the majority of his career at FC Barcelona, where he won multiple La Liga titles, Champions League trophies, Copa del Rey crowns, and established himself as the heartbeat of the Catalan club’s midfield alongside Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta.
On the international stage, Busquets was a crucial part of Spain’s golden generation, helping La Roja lift the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 2012 UEFA European Championship.
Since 2023, the veteran has been playing in Major League Soccer with Inter Miami, where he reunited with Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba. His leadership and tactical intelligence have been vital in raising the profile of the MLS club.
