The Daily Mail has both Manchester United and Manchester City fans on the same side for once here in the Football Transfer Tavern as they claim Sergio Busquets will not be joining either club in the summer.
The La Liga side are determined to keep Busquets at the club and given his importance to the side has only grown in recent seasons, that is not exactly breaking news.
After some uncertainty over the future of the midfielder, Barcelona are now willing to rush through a new deal and ensure that the money from the increased Premier League TV deal does not give either City or United the funds to make both them and the player an offer that is too hard to refuse.
City were keen to consider look into a move for the versatile player as Yaya Toure’s future becomes increasingly uncertain – and United are desperate to add quality to their ranks pretty much all over the field.
