Spanish midfield great Sergio Busquets has confirmed that he will retire from professional football at the end of the current MLS season with Inter Miami.
A Poignant Exit
In a heartfelt video message shared on Instagram, Busquets opened up about his decision, saying:
“I feel that the time has come to say goodbye … It has been almost 20 years enjoying this incredible story I always dreamed of.”
He added that he will retire “very happy, proud, fulfilled—and above all, grateful.”
A Storied Career
From La Masia to Barça Legend
Busquets rose through FC Barcelona’s youth system, making his first-team debut in 2008 and going on to represent the club for 18 years.
He amassed more than 700 appearances for Barça, winning countless trophies including 9 La Liga championships, 3 UEFA Champions League titles, and multiple domestic cups.
Inter Miami and MLS Success
In 2023, Busquets moved to the U.S. to join Inter Miami, reuniting with former Barcelona teammates such as Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suárez.
During his stint there, he added the Leagues Cup and the Supporters’ Shield to his legacy.
International Glory with Spain
On the international stage, Busquets earned 143 caps for Spain and played a key role in the national team’s triumphant runs, including the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012.
He had already stepped away from international duties in December 2022 before turning his focus fully to club football.
What Makes Busquets Special
What set Busquets apart wasn’t flashy scoring or headline-grabbing plays, but his tactical brilliance, positional intelligence, and composure under pressure. He had a unique ability to read the game and control its rhythm from midfield.
Teammates, coaches, and opponents often praised his quiet authority the kind that doesn’t shout but orchestrates everything behind the scenes.

Looking Ahead
As he prepares to leave the pitch, Busquets leaves behind more than just trophies he leaves a template for what a modern “pivot” midfielder can be: disciplined, cerebral, efficient, and graceful.
His final matches are expected to take place during the closing phase of the 2025 MLS season, including the playoffs.
