Barcelona chief Jordi Cruyff says the future of Sergi Busquets is yet to be settled.

The club captain comes off contract at the end of the season.

Cruyff told Mundo Deportivo: "It is such a special case… In the new world, not only has football changed on the field, but also in journalism there are changes and they are life processes, everything is changing, but there are things that can never be left behind, such as respect.

"He is a super special player, a 'one club man', who has spent his whole life in a club and there comes a time when, with such a special player, the first thing you have is respect for the how and when of the decision you want to make.

"Obviously, the club is in permanent contact with him and with his agents, which is normal, and when the time comes, a joint decision will be made. There are players who deserve special treatment. Everyone deserves respect but some deserve special treatment because it's life at Barça. When the time comes, it will be discussed."
