Sergio Busquets claims to have received no offers to leave Barcelona for MLS and is still hoping to line up alongside Lionel Messi at Camp Nou in 2021-22.
A long-serving part of the fold in Catalunya has seen a summer switch mooted as La Liga giants seek to generate funds and freshen up their ranks.
He is tied to a contract through to 2023, but there has been talk of the World Cup winner being lured away from his roots by enticing offers from the United States.
What has been said?
Busquets, who is still chasing down Euro 2020 glory with Spain, insists those approaches are yet to come, telling El Partidazo de Cope when quizzed on the MLS rumours: "I have a valid contract and I am very comfortable at the club."
Is Messi staying at Barcelona?
While Busquets remains tied to terms at Barca, one fellow La Masia academy graduate has seen his deal expire.
Argentine icon Messi, who is another of those to have spent his entire career to date with Barca, is a free agent at present.
Discussions regarding an extended stay at Camp Nou remain ongoing, with the Blaugrana working their way around salary cap issues, and Busquets remains optimistic when it comes to the future of a talismanic team-mate.
He added: "I trust the president and Leo's feeling.
"I wish him the best and I hope we can continue playing together for years."
Right choice made with Koeman?
Uncertainty continues to reign when it comes to a number of established stars on the field in Barcelona, but stability has been found off it.
Ronald Koeman has been cleared to see out the second year of his coaching contract, with Busquets pleased to see the Dutchman staying on.
He said of the decision to stick with a man that delivered Copa del Rey glory in 2020-21: "The project needed stability and time, last year he did a good job.
"I'm sure it will go well."
