Reports suggest that an FC Barcelona star has now responded to a lucrative offer to join Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr.

The Saudi Pro League leaders have been in the headlines ever since completing the signing of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner earlier this month.

Al Nassr have been linked with more big names from Europe as they seemingly prepare to make another statement signing in their bid to strengthen their title challenge further.

Earlier in January, it was claimed Blaugrana veteran Sergio Busquets was a target for Ronaldo's new club. 

Reports suggested at the time that there were doubts as to whether or not a deal would be agreed for an immediate move as Barca manager Xavi Hernandez had asked the Spanish midfielder to stay until the end of the campaign.  

Catalunya Radio has now reported that Busquets has rejected a contract offer from Al Nassr that would have netted him a cool €20 million (R368 million).

The Spanish outlet added that the 34-year-old will see out the rest of his deal with the Blaugrana, which is set to expire in June.

Club president Joan Laporta and Xavi are reportedly keen to keep the 2010 FIFA World Cup winner beyond this season, but it is believed the player would have to take a pay cut to do so. 

With Busquets' future still up in the air, David Beckham's Inter Miami are also said to be big admirers of the midfielder, but the Major Soccer League club may have to wait a while longer before potenitally signing the footballer.
