The quiet man shouts it out loud: Andres Iniesta is rampant for Barcelona against Sevilla after scoring a stunning goal
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has revealed that the Blaugrana's fierce football rivals Real Madrid have shown a "half interest" in signing him at various stages of his career.

Iniesta stated however that despite this reported interest Barcelona, a club he joined as a 12-year-old, has given him everything and added that he would be content to finish his career at Camp Nou.

"It has always been a half interest, but Barcelona has given everything to me and my family and there would be nothing that would make me happier than to end my career here," he is quoted as saying by Sport.

The 25-year-old midfielder is set to make his 300th appearance for Barcelona when the champions host Racing Santander at Camp Nou on Saturday.
