Barcelona legend Iniesta attracts Australian interest amid China uncertainty

Barcelona great Andres Iniesta is attracting interest from A-League clubs but they will get limited help from Football Federation Australia (FFA), according to chief executive David Gallop.

Iniesta, 33, is set to leave the La Liga champions after 16 trophy-laden seasons with his boyhood club.

The Spain international was initially expected to move to China, but uncertainty surrounds his future, with Australia and Japan also mooted as possible destinations.

Gallop has confirmed that there are A-League clubs interested in Iniesta, while accepting there is going to be plenty of competition for the star's signature.
