Barcelona and Inter Miami have strengthened their ties in recent years with the arrival of Messi, Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Suárez to the American team. These players, who marked a golden era at the blaugrana club, have found in the MLS an opportunity to extend their careers. However, Barça has never stopped considering them part of its family, and the door of Camp Nou has always been open.
Although many thought their careers would end in American soccer, one of these idols has decided to return to Barça, although not as a player. With Messi's approval, Laporta has worked quietly to bring back a historic leader, who will play a key role in training the next generation of culé footballers.
Inter Miami, the Destination of Barça Idols
Since the arrival of Messi, Busquets, Alba, and Suárez, Inter Miami has become a haven for former Barça players seeking one last adventure in soccer. The connection with the blaugrana entity is undeniable, and it is increasingly common to see ex-culés linked in some way with the Catalan club after their stint in the MLS.
Joan Laporta and his board have made it clear that players who have marked an era at Barça will always have a place in the institution when they decide to hang up their boots. It is no coincidence that many former club players end up returning to take on different roles within the sports structure. Now, one of the key pieces of Guardiola and Xavi's Barça returns home with a new mission.
From MLS to Barça
Barça has decided to bring back Sergio Busquets, but not as a reinforcement for the first team, rather as a key figure in the training of young talents at La Masia. The midfielder, who left the club in 2023 after more than a decade of success, has accepted Barça's proposal to join the area of player training and development.
Busquets has always been an example of tactical intelligence and mastery of positional play, two concepts the club considers essential to its philosophy. His role will be to advise and guide the young midfielders of La Masia, transmitting his knowledge and helping them understand the essence of Barça's style.
Messi Approves His Return, Barça Strengthens Its Identity
The decision to bring Busquets back has had Messi's approval. Who better than anyone knows the importance of the midfielder in the club's history. For the Argentine star, Busquets represents the essence of Barça and his experience will be key to keeping the team's identity alive.
With this move, Barça not only recovers one of its great legends but also reinforces its commitment to La Masia. Busquets's arrival as a trainer ensures that the blaugrana DNA will remain intact in future generations, ensuring that tomorrow's midfielders understand the game as he did.
Busquets's return to Barça marks a new stage in his career. After shining as a player and enjoying one last experience in the MLS, he now takes on a new challenge, this time from the offices and training fields. His legacy at Camp Nou continues to grow, this time as a mentor to future blaugrana stars.
