Luka Modric says Sergio Busquets is one of the best midfielders he has faced in his club football career. Busquets left the Barcelona club the other day. Modric shared this while congratulating the star.
“Busquets is one of the best midfielders I have ever faced. Feeling very happy,’ Modric tweeted.
Modric and Busquets have clashed 33 times in club football. The two have met five times this season. Busquets was one of the club’s key players during Lionel Messi’s time at Barca. There is no doubt that the star’s departure will disrupt the Blaugrana’s midfield.
At the same time, various media have reported that coach Xavi is looking for a replacement for Busquets and has kept an eye on some players.
Morocco’s midfielder Sofiane Amrabat tops the list. According to the report, attempts were made to bring the player to the club during the winter transfer window but it did not happen and negotiations are continuing.
Real Betis star Guido Rodriguez is the second of Xavi’s shortlisted replacements for Busquets. Barca planned to bring the Argentine to the club after being impressed by his performance in La Liga and international matches. Xavi believes that Rodriguez can be a strong player in Busquets’ boots.
Meanwhile, Barcelona suffered a defeat in La Liga on Monday. Barcelona lost the match against Celta Vigo by two goals to one. Gabriel Veiga netted twice for Vigo, while Anzu Fati scored a consolation goal for Barca.
Barca remains at the top of the table with 88 points from 38 matches played so far in La Liga with 28 wins and 4 losses. Real Madrid is in the second place with 10 points difference with 23 wins and six losses from the same matches.
Barcelona’s next match is against Vissel Coba on June 6.
