The former Barcelona maestro, who has battled back to action after a serious thigh injury, inked the two-year deal on Tuesday, his 37th birthday.

Iniesta said what drives him is that he is motivated to work with Vissel Kobe to achieve big goals, adding that he wants to be the one to decide when to retire and not injuries to force me into retirement.”
