For the moment, the '20' only has dressed the T-shirt culé in a career in which, further of his altibajos physical, has been important for the eight trainers that have gone through the group blaugrana from his debut.

However, with 'Busi' the things can take a bit more, since the mediocentro still does not have clear his continuity and the same will depend on the aims that attain to achieve the team of here at the end of season and of the level that the captain attain to reach in the final stretch of the 2022/23. Performances like the one of the Thursday in the Classical by Glass give good indication on his continuity, but the one of Sabadell will not take hasty decisions, further of the insistence of the directive to resolve his case.
