After a long-winded chronicle that involved countless rumors, the saga regarding Andres Iniesta and his future has finally ended. As reported earlier this week, the Spanish midfielder has reached a deal with Barcelona which will keep him until 2018, pretty much guaranteeing that he will be with the team until the end of his playing career.
Iniesta who came from the club's famous youth academy has been a very important piece for Barcelona during its most successful period. As a member of the Spanish national team, his goal in the 2010 World Cup helped the team seal the title.
With his old contract winding down and expiring in 2015, many wondered about the future possibilities for Iniesta.
Due to the relative lack of reports regarding the progress of contract negotiation between Iniesta and Barcelona that started since summer, many reports started floating around that linked the 29-year old to other European teams. One of the big-named club that he was linked to was the Manchester United, a club that could really use him right now. All the rumors and conjectures have now been squashed with his decision to stay with the Barca.
