Andres Iniesta Confirms China Offer, Considering Barcelona Departure

Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta is considering an offer to play in the Chinese Super League after the end of the current season and has six weeks to decide whether to leave the Catalan club, per Rik Sharma for Reuters (via the Daily Mail).

"I must decide before April 30 whether to stay at Barcelona or go to China," he said during a post-match interview on Wednesday. "I have to weigh up which is best for me and for the club."

Lluis Miguelsanz for Sport first reported that the 33-year-old had a "formal offer" from Tianjin Quanjian back in February, although the club have since denied this, releasing a statement declaring the "reports are untrue," per Dom Farrell for Goal.
