The Chinese Super League club have issued a statement suggesting Barca's star will not sign for the club as has been reported
Andres Iniesta's expected move to the Chinese Super League could be off.
A tearful Iniesta announced at a news conference last month that this season would be his last at Barcelona.
The Blaugrana captain was expected to join CSL side Chongqing Lifan, with the club's sponsor stating they were "positive" about the chances of a deal.
But a statement from Chongqing released via Chinese social media site Weibo on Monday indicated a deal for the 33-year-old could be off due to financial concerns.
