Liga - Iniesta extends Barcelona deal to 2018


Andres Iniesta has agreed a new contract with Barcelona, which sees him commit to the club until June 2018.


The player and club have been in negotiations over a new contract since the summer and, although the 29-year-old was seen to have rejected the first offer on financial grounds.
It is understood that a recent delay has been on the final year of the proposed new contract, with Iniesta and his representatives pushing for a run through to June 2018 and Barcelona believed to be requesting that the final year of the deal remained optional.
A compromise appears to have been reached, with reports earlier in the week suggesting that the final year would indeed be optional, but now can be triggered by a more attainable target of appearances - similar to team-mate Dani Alves' latest deal.
