OFFICIAL: Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta joins Japanese side Vissel Kobe after ending his 22-year career at Catalonia.
Iniesta announced at a news conference in April that he was calling time on his long career with Barca, where he moved to aged 12 in 1996 to join the club's academy.
He lifted a ninth La Liga title last Sunday in a fitting send off at Camp Nou, with his team-mates all giving him a guard of honour and wearing his name and number eight on the back of their shirts during the title celebrations.
In fact, Iniesta has revealed on Twitter that his next adventure would be in Japan, all but confirming his signing with Vissel Kobe, a club in which Germany international Lukas Podolski also plays for.
After signing his contract with his new club Vissel Kobe, Iniesta will join up with the Spain squad next Monday to begin preparations for the World Cup in Russia.
