Iniesta’s former teammate, Argentine star Lionel Messi, has made it his condition to agree to join the ranks of the Saudi Pro League.

The Departure of Andrés Iniesta from Vissel Kobe

Earlier today, the Japanese club Vissel Kobe announced the departure of Spanish star Andrés Iniesta from their side during the upcoming summer transfer period. After spending five years with the club, Iniesta expressed that he still wishes to play football and compete at a high level once again. The former Barcelona player added that he hopes to return to Barcelona one day.

Iniesta has several offers on his table for the upcoming summer transfer period. This includes teams from the Emirati, Saudi, Qatari, and American leagues.

Iniesta Urges Lionel Messi to Join the Saudi League

Interestingly, Iniesta is also awaiting a decision from his Argentine friend, Lionel Messi – the Paris Saint-Germain player – regarding his next destination after choosing to leave the Parc des Princes. At the top of the offers presented to Messi is the Saudi club Al Hilal, who are offering a considerable sum to win the services of the 2022 World Cup star Qatar.

If Lionel chooses to move to Al Hilal Saudi Arabia, it will likely strengthen Andrés Iniesta’s approval to move to compete in the Roshen League to gain new experience with his former colleague.
