Real Madrid Ready If Busquets Rejects Barcelona - ReportLos Merengues have ensured that the Barça midfielder is aware that they would be ready to meet his demands should contract talks at Camp Nou break down.
Real Madrid are poised to tempt Sergio Busquets to the Bernabéu if he cannot agree a new contract with Barcelona by the end of December, according to reports from Spain.
The 20-year-old has risen to prominence with some outstanding performances in his debut campaign in the Blaugrana first team and has attracted interest from across Europe.
Busquets is well aware of his value and his agent, Josep María Orobitg, is playing it tough in negotiations.
The breakdown of talks has led to Real Madrid ensuring that their interest is known, according to Barça-biased publication Catalan Daily Sport.

Given the speed with which he has made his name at the highest level, the Catalan outfit have yet to reward him with a contract on a par with the rest of Pep Guardiola's squad.
While playing for the club's B team, Barça Atlètic, Busquets had a €30,000-per-year deal, but is now expected to see that figure rise to €1 million-per-year in line with other first-team newcomers.
However, Barça do not agree that he can be given that amount on a fixed basis and want him to settle for a contract that would see him earn €500,000 fixed and have to earn the other €500,000 through performance-related pay.
It is unlikely that Busquets would leave Barça given his family connections His father Carlos played for several years in goal for the club, and is perhaps using Madrid's interest to spur the club into offering him the deal he wants.
