Barcelona to keep Andres Iniesta after 
struggling to find a replacement













The 33-year-old didn’t perform consistently last season and suffered several injury setbacks.

 The 2010 World Cup hero has been a stalwart of the team - but looks to be on the slide.

 It was thought Iniesta could be sent packing this summer as a result.

 Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has spoken to the midfielder about a potential switch to the Etihad.

 But he could yet stay at the Nou Camp for one more season
“Andres Iniesta could leave Barcelona this summer”























Spanish news outlet Don Balon, Barca are considering keeping him until next summer.

There's concern in the corridors of power at the Nou Camp that an adequate replacement can't be sourced during this transfer window.

Barca are chasing Paris St-Germain star Marco Verratti but the transfer chase is dragging on.

Despite a vote of confidence from Valverde it's suggested Iniesta is still considering his options.

With a World Cup looming next year he wants regular football.

Along with City, Serie A champions Juventus have also been tracking his availability.
