Shanghaied: Report Claims Chinese Super League Side Have Made Shock Bid for Andres Iniesta

Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai Shenhua have reportedly submitted a bid for Barcelona midfield veteran Andres Iniesta.

The 33-year-old Spaniard faces stiff competition for places at Camp Nou, and is entering the latter stages of an illustrious career.

Rumours have suggested that Iniesta may follow former teammate and club legend Xavi's example of seeking one final challenge, after Philippe Coutinho arrived at the Spanish heavyweights for a staggering £142m fee.

According to sources of TMW, Chinese money bags Shanghai Shenhua have taken a keen interest in Iniesta's future, with a cash only offer rumoured to have been submitted.
