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."
