Footballer Sergio Busquets sent a touching message to Lionel Messi after the pair signed for Inter Miami and are reunited after some successful years as teammates at Barcelona
Sergio Busquets is ready to reform his “beautiful” partnership with Lionel Messi.
World Cup winner Messi is set to make his debut for Inter Miami in the early hours of Saturday morning after becoming the biggest signing in MLS history.â His former Barcelona teammate Busquets has also moved to Miami and revealed that he held talks with the MLS club before Messi.
And it was 36-year-old Messi’s decision to move to Inter Miami ahead of rejoining Barcelona or moving to Saudi Arabia which persuaded Busquets to also move to the United States. Busquets, 35, who was talking before Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup tie with Cruz Azul, said: “I’m very happy to be back together with Leo and enjoy him as a teammate again. We’ve been together for many years at Barca and everything was beautiful.
“We parted ways and now we have the chance to be together again and enjoy playing with great passion I had talks with Inter Miami before Leo but we both knew our options. Maybe Leo had some doubts because of the Barca option, but in the end everyone chose their destination and it’s true that his coming here was a catalyst for me making the decision to come.”
