Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta may be moving to Japan to join J1 League team Vissel Kobe.
On Wednesday, Iniesta, 34,posted a photo on Twitter of him shaking hands with Hiroshi Mikitani, the billionaire chief executive of Rakuten and chairman of Vissel Kobe, aboard Mikitani’s private jet.
“Heading to my new home, with my friend (Mikitani),” Iniesta wrote in Spanish and English.
The deal is yet to be officially announced, but CNN suggests it is expected to be worth millions and may involve the purchase of millions of bottles of Iniesta’s own brand wine. Bodega Iniesta is the largest producer in Spain’s Castilla-La Mancha region.
Iniesta announced his retirement from Barcelona last month after 22 years.
