Barcelona coach Xavi makes clear his Busquets plans

Barcelona coach Xavi admits he wants Sergi Busquets to stay.

The club captain is inside the final 18 months of his current contract.

Xavi, after victory over Sevilla, said: "The first thing I see is Busquets holding the line.

"He doesn't need to leave now. I think with this game model we will get a lot more out of him. He has time left. I see Nico more as an inside player.

"The day when he will no longer be there, we will have to think about it, but this is not the case."
