Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets is at a 'very advanced' stage of negotiating a new contract at Camp Nou, the player's agent has confirmed.
It was reported in Catalunya at the end of May that Busquets was on course to sign an improved deal, a reward apparently promised to him by the club when he agreed his last extension in 2016, before the World Cup gets underway.
That may not happen given that the tournament kicks off this week and Spain's first game will be played on the second day of competition, but it certainly seems like a deal, which was never really in doubt, is definitely close to being finalised.
