Sergio Busquets says that he expects to remain at Barcelona for the rest of his career rather than be reunited with former boss Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has suggested that he expects to remain at Camp Nou rather than ever be reunited with former boss Pep Guardiola.

Busquets has spent his entire career with the Catalan giants, with the 30-year-old making a total of 413 appearances for the La Liga champions in all competitions.

Many of those outings came during a successful spell under Guardiola - who is now in charge of Manchester City - but the Spain international does not see himself making the switch to the Etihad Stadium in the future.

Busquets told Diario Sport: "He gave me the chance. He had confidence in me. He made me part of the best Barça in history, in a team with great players and I learned a lot to be a better player.

"I have a special appreciation because of what he's meant for my career, his way of reading games, understand football, giving you the keys, transmitting [his ideas]. He's unique.

"I have never seen myself anywhere else. The Guardiola thing I said not because I saw myself anywhere else, but because I should have him in mind, as is normal.

"I have always said I won't be better off anywhere else. Me and the club are made for each other. I can enjoy being at home, at the best club in the world, with the best players, fighting for titles every year... winning the majority. There's practically nowhere else you can do that."

Busquets recently extended his contract at Barcelona, with his new deal due to expire in 2023.
