Barcelona midfield maestro Andres Iniesta expresses interest in renewing contract

Andres Iniesta has been at the Camp Nou for his whole career. He belongs to a batch of La Masia products which include Xavi and Lionel Messi. Iniesta is undoubtedly, the greatest midfielder of his generation. He has had injury problems in recent years but that has not caused any decline. He attained superstardom after scoring the winning goal in the 2010 World Cup for Spain and has sustained it. Iniesta is an integral part of Lucho’s squad and shouldn’t be going anywhere.

But his current deal expires in 2018. According to Calciomercato, Juventus are preparing to sign him on a Bosman when his contract expires. They did a similar deal with AC Milan’s Andrea Pirlo and it turned out to be a huge success. These links have pressed Iniesta to make a statement and he did. He said, “In 2018 my contract ends and my desire is to continue. The whole world knows this, it is no secret.” This can put off Juve for now but if Barcelona decides not to renew Iniesta’s contract, Juventus might be in for a treat.
