The reasons why Busquets will stay

Xavi Hernandez has made clear that Busquets is fundamental for the club and he'll like to have him for as long as possible. His position in the field is not one that can easily be replaced, in fact he does not have a natural replacement at Barcelona, which is why his departure would force Xavi to move the whole team. He's also the team's captain, and thus his departure would signify a moral blow to the team. In addition to that, Barça would have to sign someone and they have a short budget to do so.
