Barcelona president Joan Laporta says Andres Iniesta could soon return to the club.

Laporta made the claim at Daniel Alves' presentation.

"I do not rule it out," he said about Iniesta and Lionel Messi possibly returning.

"It has happened with Dani. And I want to thank him because he has seen the situation of the club and wants to come to help," he added.

"I also thank him for making an economic effort. We are going to reverse this situation, but now he has made this effort. It has to be appreciated.

"These are people who have made this club great. Messi and Iniesta are spectacular, I cannot predict the future, as they are still playing, but they have made the club great, we always keep them in mind, although now they have contracts with others clubs and you have to respect that, but in life you never know."
