He will be retiring at the end of the season.
After qualifying for Major League Soccer’s play-offs, the Spaniard is set to compete in the final weeks of his career.
Busquets will bring to a close a trophy-laden career which saw him land a World Cup and European championship win, nine La Liga titles, three Champions Leagues and seven Copa del Reys.
The 37-year-old came through Barcelona’s La Masia academy and spent 18 years with the Catalan club before making the move to the MLS in 2023, where he now plays with former Barca stars in Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez.
Announcing his retirement, Busquets said on Instagram:
“I feel that the time has come to say goodbye to my career as a professional soccer player. It has been almost 20 years enjoying this incredible story that I have always dreamed of,” Busquets said on Instagram.
“These will be my last months on the pitch. I’m retiring very happy, proud, fulfilled, and, above all, grateful. A heartfelt thank you to everyone and to football for everything. You will always be a part of this beautiful story.”
