A possible reissue of the partnership with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami was speculated, but the negotiations did not evolve. At the Emirates Club, Andrés Iniesta will play with three Brazilians: left-back Róger Mendonça and strikers Lithierry and Diogo Acosta.
Revealed by Barcelona, the player left Vissel Kobe, from Japan, after losing space in the team last season. For the club, the Spaniard played 134 games, with 26 goals and 25 assists, helping to win the Japan Super Cup (2020) and the Japan Cup (2019).
