One day after Lionel Messi formally signed with Inter Miami CF, legendary defensive midfielder Sergio Busquets has also joined the Major League Soccer (MLS) club.
Busquets, announced Sunday as the Herons’ latest summer addition, is under contract through the 2025 MLS season. He will occupy a Designated Player spot for Inter Miami.
The Spain national team all-time great memorably played with Messi for nearly 15 years at LaLiga powerhouse FC Barcelona, striking up a partnership that’s now rekindled in South Florida.
“This is a special and exciting opportunity that I’m very excited to take. I’m looking forward to this next step in my career with Inter Miami,” Busquets said in a press release.
“I was impressed by the club when I came with Barcelona last year and now I’m happy and ready to represent the club myself. I can’t wait to help bring the success that this ambitious club strives for.”
While at Barca, Busquets won 32 trophies and played in over 700 matches across all competitions. Alongside Andres Iniesta and Xavi, he was the anchor of one of the game’s best-ever midfield trios for club and country.
At the international level, Busquets is Spain’s third-most capped player (143 games) and was part of their 2010 World Cup and 2012 Euro-winning sides. His last international appearance came at the 2022 World Cup, his fourth time representing La Roja on that stage.
