According to 'Marca', Andres Iniesta won't just receive a huge salary if he moves to the Chinese Super League in the summer but his wine business could also blossom.

The Barcelona stalwart seems set to move to China after an illustrious career at the Camp Nou has brought him 30 club trophies over a 16-year span, with his wine and pockets set to gain massively from the switch. 

The aforementioned Spanish newspaper has claimed that Iniesta's wine business will be boosted significantly in the lucrative Chinese market to increase profits, aiming to export around two million bottles of 'vino' to the country in the coming year.

Interested club Tianjin Quanjian will also allegedly offer the midfielder a contract worth €35million-per-year.

Iniesta made it clear after Barcelona's 2-1 win over Valencia at the weekend that this will be his last season for the Catalan club: "I already know what I'm going to do about my future. I'm grateful for the fans' support, but that won't change my decision".

Where that decision will take the 33-year-old remains unclear but until then, Barcelona fans can enjoy watching Iniesta in his final few matches at the Camp Nou.
