The Andres Iniesta countdown clock is ticking
He will announce this week that he is leaving Barcelona to go to China
The Copa del Rey final seemed like a goodbye for Andres Iniesta. He celebrated well with a mixture of joy and emotion; this wasn't just another trophy.
His voyage to Chinese football is on and only lacks an official announcement. A public message he will give this week, most likely on Thursday or Friday.
The player said he would announce his future this week. He is obliged to decide what he is doing to Barcelona before April 30. The deadline is arriving and Iniesta will speak before Sunday's games at the Riazor.
The only doubt is that the player has to decide with his team how to make the announcement and the exact date. The team has time off until Thursday.
Iniesta will speak before going to face Depor on Sunday, where Barca can win the league. "The decision is taken," said Iniesta, so it's just the announcement remaining.
Iniesta might publish a statement and leaving the press conference for later days after the title and the Clasico is won, or do it all at once.
Barca's season finishes on May 20 against Real Sociedad, so the club have a month to pay homage to their captain.
