BARCELONA: Andres Iniesta’s potential move to Chinese Super League side Chongqing Lifan has been cast into doubt after they said they will not pay the Barcelona playmaker a salary that would distort the market. Barca captain Iniesta, 33, said in April he would leave the club he joined as a 12-year-old in the summer, with media reports suggesting he would be moving to Chongqing. In a statement on social network, the Chinese side’s president Jiang Lizhang said they are working with Iniesta in areas including marketing and youth education, but there is no deal for him to play. Spanish reports had indicated Iniesta was close to agreeing a three-year deal with Chongqing, worth 81 million euros ($97 million).
