According to rumours in Spain, Spanish midfielder Sergio Busquets' future at Barcelona is in doubt after being offered an unpleasant contract proposal.

The Barcelona captain rose through the ranks of La Masia and started for his side on a regular basis. With 33 appearances in all competitions this season, the Spanish and Barcelona captain has been a staple for Xavi's team.

After the conclusion of the current campaign, the 34-year contract expires, and he will be a free agent this summer. Barcelona wants to commit to keeping him at the Nou Camp for at least another season, but according to Mundo Deportivo (MD) and Football Espana, their recent contract offer was very low for a player of his stature and repute.

Barcelona financial issue

The enormous financial difficulties Barcelona has been facing are putting a cap on the salaries they can pay players. They have lost important players like Messi and Aubameyang due to their financial situation, and they are about to lose Sergio Busquets as well.

Despite receiving two extremely lucrative offers from the MLS, Busquets is apparently hesitant to sign a new contract with Barca. Busquets currently has many contract offers from other clubs and he is unsure whether or not to accept any of them.

Busquets contract offers from MLS clubs

According to reports, Inter Miami and Toronto FC are two teams from MLS that are interested in signing the Spanish midfielder. In fact, it's thought that both clubs are paying "substantially" more than Barcelona are offering him.

A decision about Busquets' future is anticipated in the upcoming weeks. It is said that he is keen to finish his career playing in Major League Soccer. He is also waiting on former teammate Lionel Messi Before committing to another year at Barcelona.

After the international break, LaLiga's top team Barcelona will travel to Elche, the bottom team in the division, knowing that a victory would put them 15 points ahead of rival Real Madrid in second.
