Sergio Busquets is close to finalizing a deal to join Inter Miami and reunite with former FC Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi, according to a Major League Soccer source familiar with the negotiations.
Reports in Spain, including from Barcelona-based journalist Toni Juanmartí and radio station RAC1, said the midfielder will sign a two-year contract in the coming days. Messi announced June 7 that he plans to join Inter Miami, and contract details are still being worked out.
Busquets, who turns 35 in July, announced last month that he was leaving Barca after 18 years with the club. He reportedly made $14 million this past season.
