After it was revealed that the midfielder will leave Barcelona at the conclusion of the season, Sergio Busquets received admiration from Lionel Messi.
Messi played with Busquets 567 times during his stint at Barcelona, more than any other player in his career.
Along with eight LaLiga championships and seven Copa del Reys, the tandem also won three Champions Leagues.
On Instagram, Messi stated: "On the field, you're always a 5, but in real life, you're a 10—both as a player and a person."
"I send you and your family my best wishes for success in your new stage and always."
Thank you for everything, both on and off the field. We shared a lot of good and challenging experiences together. They will remain always!
There have been rumors that Messi and Busquets would reunite at Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia.
Messi is likely to depart Paris Saint-Germain, but his father Jorge disputed that an agreement with Al-Hilal has already been reached that will pay the player £522 million annually.
On social media, Jorge stated: "There is nothing with any club for the upcoming season." The choice will never be made prior to Lionel's PSG league finale.
Once the season is done, it will be time to reflect and assess the situation before making a choice. Always, there are rumors, and many of them utilize the name.
Lionel to become well-known, but there is only one truth and we can be certain that there is nothing against anyone. There won't be till the end of the season, neither verbal nor written nor agreed.
There seems to be a lack of respect for the media in their response that there are those who intentionally and knowingly lie without offering any evidence to support their accusations and who wish to make any unfavorable rumor into news or that is spread by someone who is acting in their best interests.
Since making his first team appearance in 2008, Busquets has played in 719 matches for Barcelona.
At the end of June, Busquets' 34-year-old contract expires, and he will move on to fresh opportunities.
Busquets was given a new contract by Barcelona, although it would have resulted in a pay drop of 70%.
Al-Hilal has made Busquets a tax-free offer of roughly £13 million each season.
There have been rumors that Al-Hilal is also interested in signing Jordi Alba, a defender who has played for Barcelona for a long time.
