Messi finds him owner to '8' of Iniesta (and is the one who least expect it)

The Argentine is clear who is the heir of Manchego

The future of Andrés Iniesta points away from the Camp Nou. 

The manchego is today more outside that within the Barça, and is that the offers that arrive from China are very tempting for the '8' of the azulgrana set. 

To this day, everything points to Iniesta playing his last season at Barça. 

The Fuentealbilla will thus free the bracelet, which will pass to Messi, and the number '8'.

Leo, who will gain even more weight in the dressing room, is clear to who should go that number. 

And it is a great responsibility to take over from Iniesta. An authentic legend at Barça. 

Messi believes that from the next season is Coutinho who should wear the '8' on the back. 

When Coutinho arrived he took the number '14'. Unusual in him. 

But the '7' was already reserved for Griezmann . With the departure of Iniesta, Coutinho can inherit a number with a lot of history at Barça. 

The Brazilian has fallen well in the club's dressing room and Messi believes he has all the skills to succeed in the Barça team and become the new leader of midfield.
