Barcelona invite Messi to Busquets and Alba farewells - report

Barcelona have reportedly invited Lionel Messi to farewell ceremonies to say goodbye to departing duo Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

Catalunya Radio report that a special ceremony has been planned for Busquets on Wednesday and Alba on Thursday as Barca part ways with the two players.

Messi has been invited because he is very close to both players, indeed there’s been speculation all three could play together in Saudi Arabia next season.

However, it’s not clear yet if Messi will be able to attend. PSG play against Strasbourg on Saturday in Ligue 1 and then finish off their season on June 3 against Clermont.
