Barcelona captain Sergi Busquets has considered leaving in January.

Marca says the situation escalated when president Joan Laporta hinted at the Members' Assembly that the captains had not wanted to lower their salaries, although he stressed that it was their right.

From that moment on, there were reactions from the stands and Busquets was not spared.

And a couple of games with errors were enough for him to hear some whistles from the stands.

It was a reaction that hurt the player. Busquets' commitment to the club has always been very strong, which is why, given the turn of events, he seriously considered the possibility of leaving the club in January.

The captain asked the club if this was the solution to the problems, but there was no chance of that happening. For Xavi, Busquets' presence in the team at the moment is unquestionable.
