Top players who can replace Sergio Busquets at FC Barcelona

The Spaniard will leave Blaugrana at the end of the season

Sergio Busquets, who earned his Barcelona debut in 2008, is unquestionably the best defensive midfielder of his generation. Numerous people refer to him as a generational midfielder because of the numerous trophies he has won for both club and country.

Busquets has been praised as the element that held Barcelona and Spain together as they have seen tremendous accomplishments throughout the course of their careers, having played with players like Xavi, Iniesta, and Lionel Messi.

Here are the three players who potentially take Sergio Busquets' spot at Barcelona.

3. Sofyan Amrabat

Amrabat emerged as one of the greatest midfielders at the 2022 World Cup, drawing interest from several powerful European clubs, including Barca. They came in late during the winter window, but because of their financial circumstances, they could only suggest a loan move. Fiorentina turned down their proposal.

The 26-year-old's Florence contract is slated to expire in 2024, therefore the Serie A team is thought to be more willing to let their star player depart this summer rather than take the chance of losing him for free the following year.

The Moroccan international is allegedly still 'crazy to join' Barcelona and will take any action necessary to arrange a transfer to Camp Nou.

2. Ilkay Gundogan

According to reports, Barcelona has been in talks about a possible deal to recruit Ilkay Gundogan from Manchester City before the close of the month.

On Saturday, the 32-year-old scored twice while serving as the Citizens' captain as the Premier League champions defeated Sam Allardyce's Leeds United at the Etihad. With this victory, City is one step closer to winning the championship once more.

The midfielder is presently in his eighth season in Manchester after moving from Bundesliga powerhouses Borussia Dortmund in 2016. To date, he has started 25 league games, which is more than in any other season in his time in England.

1. Bruno Guimaraes

The Catalan club is keeping a watch on the status of the former Lyon player in the northern part of England. It comes out that Barça finds it challenging to hire him this year since he was unable to put out the financial commitment that Newcastle could have intended.

Only PSG and Liverpool are prepared to meet the Magpies' asking price for selling Guimares, which is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 100 million euros. The Culés, on the other hand, would want to keep that money in order to make way for a potential return of Lionel Messi as well as the appointment of Vitor Roque.
