"Recently, the media reported that the Spanish star Iniesta will join the club on a high salary. "
Previous reports had suggested that Iniesta was close to agreeing a deal worth £71million over three years with Chongqing.

The 33-year-old has rejected Chinese side Chongqing Lifan and is understood to prefer a move Down Under for the lifestyle and an up-and-coming league, says Spanish newspaper Sport.
Upon departing the Catalan club, Iniesta said he would not be joining another European club prompting many to believe a move to China, the MLS or the Middle East was on the cards.

iirc he could've went to ibrox on loan before his career took off, but was stopped at the last moment by a change to Barca's management team, I heard he cried, he needs to come home for #55

Was that not Messi? McLeish had a go at bringing him in on loan.

I'm sure McLeish claimed both Messi and Iniesta were being considered for moves in order to toughen them up. How much consideration Barca actually gave the suggestion it is open to speculation.
