Andres Iniesta has revealed he is considering leaving Barcelona when his contract is up next summer.

Iniesta is yet to follow Lionel Messi's lead and agree a new deal despite sporting director Robert Fernandez confidently predicting back in March the Barca captain would extend his stay.

The 33-year-old's haul of trophies in 15 years at the Nou Camp includes eight league titles and four in the Champions League.

But the World Cup-winning midfielder has told Spanish newspaper El Pais he is more torn than ever on his future.

"Right now, I have still not signed a new contract," he said. "I have felt many strange feelings for the first time, but I think this may be normal.

"This is a scenario that, probably three years ago, I could never have imagined. Let's say that I am considering my future when I didn't do it before."
