Barcelona management have made it clear to Andres Iniesta they want him to stay next season.
With just a year to run on his existing deal and with no indication of a willingness to renew, it was suggested Iniesta could be sold by Barca this summer.
The veteran has been linked with Manchester City and Juventus.
However, Don Balon says Barca management have been in contact with Iniesta this week with a new proposal.
Barca are happy for the captain to continue next season, even with his contract winding down, and should he choose to leave in 2018, he will do so with a bumper loyalty bonus.
Iniesta is currently considering his options, with the midfielder eager to play regularly next term.
