Iniesta, 38, will go down in history as one of the game’s greatest playmakers after an incredible club and international career.

The technician won nine titles and four Champions Leagues during a 22-year stay at Barcelona.

Iniesta also landed consecutive Euros and a World Cup with Spain.

And after swapping Barca for Vissel Kobe in 2018, he has gone on to win the Emperor’s Cup and Japanese Super Cup in the Far East.

However, Nikkan Sports claims Iniesta’s time in Japan will come to an end when his deal expires this summer.

The veteran is set to make his last-ever appearance for the club in June’s friendly against Barcelona.

Vissel Kobe would love Iniesta to stay put for another season and have offered him a fresh contract.

But the midfielder fancies another challenge as he enters his twilight phase.
