The contract until the end of his career did not mean that the 33-year-old "Barcelona" legend Andres Iniesta will finish his career in the Catalan team.
A. Iniesta, who is still a vital player for "Barca" in the fight for the UEFA Champions League title, revealed after the match with London's "Chelsea" that he will make a final decision about his future by the end of next month.
The Spanish national team midfielder does not feel that he will be able to stay at the highest level for another season, so he does not want to become a burden for the club and seriously considers the possibility of moving to China.
"The club will find out about my decision before you (media) do. I have until April 30th to decide whether I stay here or not. I have to decide what is best for me and the club," said A. Iniesta after the match.
Meanwhile, Barcelona's head coach Ernesto Valverde indicated that the club could receive a €35 million offer from China for the player, but everything will be decided by A. Iniesta himself.
"If that happens, we will have to think about it," commented the coach on a possible Chinese offer. "I haven't even thought about it, so I don't have much more to say. Iniesta is with us and we want him to continue helping us."
A. Iniesta has played 662 matches for the main "Barcelona" team.
