Sergio Busquets Closes In on Xavi and Lionel Messi’s Records at Barcelona

• Sergio Busquets is just 79 games away from Lionel Messi's appearance record at Barcelona
• Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr are reportedly keen on signing the midfielder from the Catalans
• The Barca captain has yet to make a decision and is instead focusing on the Supercopa final

Sergio Busquets is a club legend at FC Barcelona, but his future at the Catalan club remains uncertain.

Following Barcelona's desire to fix up their finances, club captains like Busquets, Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique were asked to take wage cuts for the team's benefit.

Pique retired earlier this season and many expected Busquets to either do the same, or to instead leave the club.

As noted by Football Espana, Busquets isn't focused on his future at the moment, but his sights are set on the Spanish Supercopa final against Real Madrid.

The two Spanish giants will compete for cup honours in the final in Saudi Arabia, after beating Valencia and Real Betis respectively.

“I am focused on this final, which is very important. I do not know [about the future] and I would not say it at a press conference. Don’t ask me anymore, because I’m not going to say it. I always put the team or a title before a personal decision," he said ahead of the clash.

700 up for Busquets

Barcelona's semi-final clash against Betis also saw Busquets make his 700th appearance for La Blaugrana. Only Xavi - the Catalans' coach, who played 767 games - and Lionel Messi have played more game than him in the club colours.

As noted by Transfermrkt, Messi holds the club's current appearance record with 778 games.

Busquets is currently only 34 years old and could surpass that feat if he continues his career with the Spanish side.

Will Busquets join Ronaldo?

Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr are ready to offer a blockbuster deal to sign Barcelona captain, Sergio Busquets, Sports Brief has reported.

The Knights of Najd have been in the news in recent times, following their capture of five-time Ballon d'Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.

Rudi Garcia's side have now reportedly shifted their attention to Spanish international Busquets, as they aim to strengthen their midfield.
