The midfield maestro is one of the most important players in Luis Enrique’s squad. His silky dribbling and pinpoint passing make him the greatest midfielder of his generation. Iniesta is a product of the club’s famed La Masia academy and has been at the Camp Nou his entire career. But his current contract expires in 2018. And the rumours about his exit to join counterpart Dani Alves at Juventus have appeared.

But according to Sport, he is set to be offered a one-year rolling contract. This would mean that Iniesta’s contract would be extended every season until he says not to [because the club will never say no to Andres Iniesta]. This system is followed by Chelsea for their players over 30 and it is successful. This deal wouldn’t exactly be a renewal but just adding a clause to his existing deal.
