Barcelona could come calling for Adrien Rabiot

PSG's Rabiot lined up as Iniesta's replacement

Andres Iniesta's current contract with Barcelona expires in 2018. However, the Spaniard has made no effort in extending his contract so far, and had sparked speculation of a potential departure from Barcelona before the transfer window closed.

With the 33-year old's future in doubt, Barcelona are exhibiting prudence in identifying heirs to Iniesta's thone in the Catalan club's midfield. Reports in the Daily Express suggest that Paris Saint-Germain's Adrien Rabiot is perceived to be the flag bearer in Barcelona's hunt for a replacement for Iniesta.
