Sergio Busquets has announced that he will retire from professional football at the end of the 2025 MLS season. The Spanish midfielder made the decision public in an emotional video message, saying the time has come to close this chapter of his life.
Busquets joined Inter Miami in 2023 after leaving Barcelona, where he spent most of his career. At Miami, he lifted trophies including the Leagues Cup and the Supporters’ Shield. His influence in midfield helped guide the team during an important phase of its growth.
Before moving to the United States, Busquets enjoyed an extraordinary career with Barcelona. He made more than 700 appearances for the club. His time at Camp Nou brought nine La Liga titles and three Champions League victories. He was often praised for his reading of the game and ability to control the tempo.
Internationally, Busquets earned 143 caps for Spain. He played a crucial role in their golden era, winning the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 2012 UEFA European Championship. His leadership and calm presence in midfield made him one of Spain’s most trusted players.
Even in his final season, Busquets continues to perform at a high level. Inter Miami have already secured a playoff spot in Major League Soccer. That gives him a chance to finish his career with more success before stepping away.
In his farewell message, Busquets thanked his family, teammates, and fans. He described his journey as a dream fulfilled and expressed pride in what he has achieved. Supporters around the world are paying tribute, recognizing him as one of the finest midfielders of his generation.
The retirement of Busquets marks the end of an era. His legacy will be remembered for intelligence, composure, and consistency over nearly two decades at the top level.
