Unlike many other stars who want to retire in this rich league, former Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets has reached an agreement to join Inter Miami with a two-year contract with the team of owner David Beckham.
Sergio Busquets set to sign with Inter Miami
According to Spanish radio station RAC1 and a very reliable source from journalist Toni Juanmarti, who specializes in football in the Catalunya region, Sergio Busquets – who will celebrate his 35th birthday in July – will definitely move to Major League Soccer (MLS) after 18 years with Barcelona.
Sergio Busquets is a world class defensive midfielder
The biggest issue for both sides right now is the salary agreement for Sergio Busquets, who earned $14 million last season. Inter Miami does not have a mechanism to pay stars too much. The highest-paid player Josef Martinez received a salary of $4 million and Miami only paid 1/3 of that amount, the rest was paid by his former team Atlanta United because the striker left before the end of his contract.
Sergio Busquets is one of the players with the most titles
Busquets is considered the best defensive midfielder in the world in his generation. In Barcelona's shirt, Busquets won 31 titles in 719 matches, including 3 Champions League titles, 3 FIFA Club World Cups, 8 La Liga championships and 7 Copa del Rey titles.
Jordi Alba to reunite with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami
34-year-old left-back Jordi Alba is also likely to join MLS, reuniting with Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets at Inter Miami. On May 29, Alba and Busquets said goodbye to Barcelona fans in the final match of the season at the Nou Camp. The defender decided not to renew his contract when his former teammate and head coach Xavi decided to restructure Barcelona with a younger squad and less income because the team is still burdened with debt.
Jordi Alba guards the left wing for Barcelona and the Spanish national team
Alba joined Barcelona after leaving Valencia in June 2012 and spent more than a decade with the club, contributing to countless achievements for the team. According to Mundo Deportivo , many European teams, including Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, were quick to contact Jordi Alba but he was only interested in Inter Miami and the football league on the other side of the Atlantic.
Jordi Alba just won the Nations League with the Spanish team
Busquets and Alba will join the American professional football village as TAM players (targeted allocation money), a lower level than Messi's transfer, according to which MLS will regulate a fund to pay salaries.
