Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta says that talk linking Celta Vigo boss Luis Enrique with the head coach position at the Camp Nou can wait until the end of the season.

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has refused to comment on talk linking Celta Vigo boss Luis Enrique with the head coach position at the Camp Nou.

Current Barca boss Gerardo Martino is expected to depart the Catalan outfit next week even if the Argentine leads his side to the La Liga title this season.

Enrique, who has previously played for the club and managed their B side, is the strong favourite to take charge next season, but Iniesta has said that speculation can wait until the end of the season.

"Right now I've little opinion over the possible signing of Luis Enrique. When the season finishes the club will do what they have to do, but now, the manager deserves all the respect in the world and we're all thinking about what's a really important game," Inside Spanish Football quotes Iniesta as saying.

"From Sunday onwards there'll be talk of many things, but right now we're still playing the season and I don't think talking about anything else, is either positive or constructive."

Barcelona will retain La Liga if they beat Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou this weekend.
