Former Barcelona and Spain star Andres Iniesta is set to announce his retirement from football.
The 40-year-old has been without a club since leaving UAE side Emirates Club this summer after his contract had expired.
And according to Relevo, the iconic midfielder will call time on his career next week after teasing through a social media post.
Iniesta, who scored the winning goal in extra time of the 2010 World Cup final against the Netherlands, posted an Instagram video of him painting onto a mural of himself.
And he captioned it: 'COMING SOON. 8, 10, 24', the day that he's set to announce his retirement from the sport, with the number eight synonymous with his shirt number.
