Sergio Busquets, Messi's Old Barcelona Teammate, Turns Down Saudi Money To Join Him In Miami

Big news for American soccer. The Messi effect is real and already happening. Sergio Busquets turned down higher money offered by the Saudis to join Messi and reunite what was one of the best duos in soccer for years. One of my favorite all time soccer quotes is former Spain manager Vicente del Bosque saying "You watch the game, you don't see Busquets. But if you watch Busquets, you'll see the whole game". He's one of the best CDM we've ever seen. As a Real Madrid fan I hate the terror these fellas reigned on us for 567 games at Barcelona, but it's going to be an electric factory in Miami. Busquets is going to carve through the field and find Messi at a generational clip next season.

Messi hasn't even played a single match for Miami yet but he's already got insane pull. Rumors swirling Jordi Alba is on his way to Miami too, and him, Messi and Busquets are all great friends. Grabbing former Barcelona teammates is just the beginning. Soccer in America is only going to get bigger over the next few years. Just sit back and let Messi cook.
