Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez has made a 'join us' plea to departing Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta.
Iniesta, 33, emotionally revealed he was leaving the La Liga giants this summer during a press conference on Friday.
The 124-cap Spain international was expected to move to the Chinese Super League... but Benitez has now opened the door for a stunning move to St James' Park.
Benitez said: “Along with so many great names, he was one of Barcelona's key players.
“He is a great player, a nice person, and I hope he does well in his career.
“Maybe he could come here?"
