Andres Iniesta has said his dream has always been to spend the remainder of his playing days at Barcelona.
Recent weeks have seen Barca team-mates Xavi Hernandez and Carles Puyol sign new contract extensions, with Lionel Messi due to put pen to paper on an improved and extended deal on Thursday.
Iniesta's current contract, signed in 2009, runs until 2015 and Mundo Deportivo reported last month that talks with his agent Ramon Sostres about extending that arrangement for a further two years had already begun.
