Andrés Iniesta and Anna Ortiz pose with their five children in Eivissa

Andrés Iniesta is one of the unforgettable symbols of football in Spain. The former Fútbol Club Barcelona player will be remembered for goals such as the one at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, which gave the blaugranas the chance to fight for the treble; or that of the 2010 World Cup final, which gave La Roja its long-awaited World Cup. Now the man from Fuentealbilla maintains the unknown of his future, after having left Vissel Kobe, and he does so calmly.

The footballer and his wife, Anna Ortiz, are spending a few days on vacation in Eivissa with their five children. With the uncertainty of which team he will play for next season, the man from Albacete takes it easy surrounded by his family, posing for the first time with the entire group. The player's wife has been in charge of sharing the image on her Instagram profile, with the seven smiling for the camera in a pool.

It is one of the many instances of complicity that the family has shown since their arrival in Eivissa. Parents have shared multiple images and short videos on their networks, be it playing soccer with the boys, resting with little Olympia, and simply having an entertaining time in the dining room of the vacation home. In addition, Andrés and Anna would have also taken the opportunity for the children to be reunited with their maternal grandparents.

That of Andrés Iniesta and Anna Ortiz is a long and heartfelt relationship, which began in 2008. It was three years later, in 2011, when their first daughter, Valeria, was born. The couple would go through the altar the following year and would continue to live special moments. In 2015 and 2017 their next two children were born, Paolo Andrea and Siena, after a severe setback in which the duo lost a baby they were expecting at eight months. Romeo in 2019 and little Olympia this past February completed the quintet.

Although the holidays are to be enjoyed, for Iniesta they also serve as a time for reflection to decide what to do with his future. The man from Fuentealbilla packed his bags for Japan in 2018, where he signed for Vissel Kobe. There he has spent five full years in which he has been able to share grass with other renowned players in the twilight of their careers, as was the case with Lukas Podolski. Now the world champion finds himself in a multiple cross.

The last team for which the ex-Barcelona has sounded is Inter Miami, where his former teammates, Leo Messi and Sergio Busquets, had a successful debut against Cruz Azul last weekend. The midfielder could join the also confirmed Jordi Alba, bringing together four essential Barcelona players from the past decade in the same team. However, siren songs have also been heard from Saudi Arabia.
