Barcelona have reportedly accepted that Andres Iniesta is likely to leave the club to move to the Chinese Super League.
Iniesta has been with Barca since 1996, coming through the youth and 'B' team setups to go on to make 662 first-team appearances for the Catalan giants.
However, for a number of months, it has been claimed that the 33-year-old has lucrative offers on the table from Asia, and Iniesta has admitted that a transfer is possible.
According to Sport, Barcelona would like to see the playmaker remain at the club, but the La Liga leaders would give Iniesta their blessing if he opts to leave after 22 years.
The Spaniard remains a key part of Ernesto Valverde's squad, with 31 outings being made in all competitions during the current campaign.
