ANDRES INIESTA is mulling over a sensational move to the Chinese Super League, according to reports in Catalonia.
The Spanish midfielder is one of the best players of his generation and has spent his entire career at Barcelona.
Now 33, he is still a key member of Ernesto Valverde‘s side, but the Catalans are managing his game time.
And Sport report that, despite wanting him to stay, Barcelona won’t stand in his way if he decides to accept the £600,000-a-week deal on offer.
Iniesta has made 27 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring one goal.
But his dominant performance in the stunning 3-0 Clasico win at Real Madrid showed just how important he still remains.

However, Philippe Coutinho was brought in as an eventual replacement — so Barcelona are preparing for life without the legendary Spanish ace.
Iniesta made his debut for the Catalans in 2001 and has won everything there is to win in the game.
He is a four-time Champions League-medallist and famously scored the winner for Spain in 2010 World Cup final.
Should he opt to move to China, he would arguably be the most high-profile player to join a side in the emerging league.
