Inter Miami has added another decorated player to their roster, hoping to climb up from their dismal standing in the current MLS season, where they are currently last in the Eastern Conference.
The Fort Lauderdale-based club has officially announced the signing of defensive midfielder Sergio Busquets through a free transfer in a video posted on their social media accounts.

The clip featured quotes describing the midfield maestro from different personalities before his nickname "Busi" was revealed. Details of the contract weren't released, but previous reports stated that he would remain in Miami until 2025.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the signing shortly after the video was posted. Busquets rejected offers from Saudi Arabian clubs to experience playing in the United States.
The 34-year-old will wear a different shirt for the first time in his senior career, having worn the Blaugrana striped shirt of Barcelona for the past 18 years.
