The afforementioned outlet revelaed that Barca's president, Josep Marie Bartomeu, and Ernesto Valverde intend to attempt to convince the midfielder to stay at the club. They will wait until his return from the international break to demonstrate to the Spaniard that he remains vital to the club's plans on and off the pitch.
His recent statements, revealing that he will decide his future before April 30, have left things open, and full panic has not set in. However, the fans have made it clear how they feel, begging the veteran to stay.
The Camp Nou's reaction has been much appreciated by Iniesta, who, according to 'SPORT', has not yet made a decision over his future. The club will ask him to stay put in Barcelona, but they will be well aware how tempting a big money offer from China could be.
