Barcelona growing confident Busquets will sign new contract

Barcelona are growing confident of Sergi Busquets signing a new contract.

Mundo Deportivo says Busquets is considering staying with the only club he's ever known.

The Barcelona midfielder has completely changed his intentions.

A few months ago he was determined to leave the Blaugrana and head to the United States, but now it seems that everything has changed, and the reasons are twofold.

The first has to do with his coach, Xavi Hernandez, who, after a long conversation, looks to have convinced him to renew his contract for at least one more year.

The club's economic situation isn't great, and the coach knows they won't find anyone in his position in the short term.

That is why Xavi has repeatedly underlined his full confidence in Busquets' abilities, and how it would be doing him a great favor if he stays for one more season.

The second reason is Messi's likely renewal with PSG. Busquets thought that he would join up with Messi, who is a great friend of his, at Inter Miami.

But the Argentine's decision to remain in France would leave the Catalan alone in Miami, giving him another reason to postpone his departure for MLS.
