Andres Iniesta nears Chongqing move

Spanish daily newspaper Marca has suggested that Barcelona icon Andres Iniesta has all but agreed to join Chinese side Chongqing Dangdai Lifan.

The 33-year-old is widely expected to move to China at the end of the current campaign, and he is set to announce his decision after the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla.

While Tianjin Quanjian and Hebei Fortune were also keen on his services, latest reports suggest Chongqing Dangdai Lifan have won the chase for the midfielder’s signature.

The club president Jiang Lizhang, who is also the chairman of Granada, and his marketing agency Desports have already worked with Iniesta, and they seem to have managed to agree a deal for the veteran midfielder.

Iniesta will attempt to win the incredible 31st major title with Barcelona before leaving at the end of the season, and his side are priced at 2/5 to win the final in 90 minutes.
