Sergio Busquets began his footballing career at Barcelona, having graduated from the club's youth team. Since then, the Spaniard has won a staggering total of 28 major trophies with the club. Notably, he was inducted into Barcelona's first team by the manager at the time, Pep Guardiola.

Over the past few days, there has been plenty of talk surrounding Busquets and a potential move away from the club - to Manchester City, where Guardiola is now in charge.

In light of these developments, the 30-year-old midfielder decided to break his silence and respond to the rumours. While he admitted that he would like to end his career at Barcelona, he also heaped praise on Guardiola, and left the door open on a possible move with his remarks.

According to reports from Manchester Evening News, Busquets spoke to Diario Sport about the matter and said:

"I have a special appreciation because of what he's meant for my career, his way of reading games, understand football, giving you the keys, transmitting (his ideas). He's unique.
"I said that I would think about it (leaving Barcelona for Pep) and it's normal that I have him in mind because of his importance on my career.

However, Busquets was also quick to add that it didn't necessarily mean he desired a move away from Barcelona.

"I have never seen myself anywhere else. The Guardiola thing I said not because I saw myself anywhere else, but because I should have him in mind, as is normal."
