Andres Iniesta was involved in his final El Classico duel at Camp Nou which ended in a 2-2 draw on Monday (07/05) early morning. He has played 672 times for Barcelona, scoring 57 goals and 141 assists, earning nine La Liga trophies, six Copa Del Rey crowns and four UEFA Champions League titles.
After declaring the resignation of the Barcelona squad next season, Andres Iniesta is rumored to be moving into the Super League of China alongside the wealthy club, Chongqing Dangdai Lifan. But the report claims the Spanish international midfielder prefers to play in the J1 League, Japan.
Vissel Kobe is willing to pay Andres Iniesta's salary of 25 million euros each season, an amount equal to that offered by Chinese clubs. In addition, the club will assist the development of Andres Iniesta winery. The presence of other European players, Lucas Podolski also became the reason Iniesta chose to join the Japanese club.
Andres Iniesta will be the highest paid player in Japanese football and sponsored by Rakuten, the same sponsor as Barcelona. Currently, Vissel Kobe is in tenth position J1 League standings.
