There has been speculation recently that Barca could offer Busquets a six-month extension in the summer that would take him up until the end of the year.

Yet Mundo Deportivo reckon that neither Barca nor Busquets are keen on such a plan. Indeed the club think it would just disrupt plans for next season.

Busquets hasn’t yet told the club about his future plans, but Barca are said to be trying to convince him to stay on for another year.

Both Xavi and Joan Laporta have admitted they want the captain to continue, but it’s thought he’s tempted by a move to Major League Soccer.

Busquets has already confirmed his international retirement, the captain now just needs to decide what he wants to do with regards club football.

Meanwhile…

Barcelona are finally back to full strength after World Cup 2022 and ahead of Saturday’s La Liga clash with Espanyol.

Defender Jules Kounde was the last player to return to training after World Cup 2022 but was back in action on Wednesday at the Ciutat Esportiva.

The return of the France international will be welcomed by Xavi who can now finalise his preparations for his team’s first game back after the tournament in Qatar.

Kounde started all of France’s games at the World Cup, apart from the opener against Australia, after recovering from injury.
