Former Barcelona and Spain star Sergio Busquets has announced he will retire from football at the end of the 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) season.

Busquets, who currently plays for Inter Miami, announced this via a video shared on his Instagram page on Friday.

“A heartfelt thank you to everyone and to football for everything. You will always be a part of this beautiful story.”

An elegant, skillful player known for his poise and calmness on the ball, Busquets is widely regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in history.

He was a key figure in nine Spanish league victories with Barcelona and also helped the club win three Champions League titles.

He was a member of the Spain team that won the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European championship, winning 143 caps.

Busquets retired from international football after the 2022 World Cup, and in 2023 headed to the United States to link up with former Barclona teammate Lionel Messi at Inter Miami.
