Spanish sources claim Barca have offered £25m plus striker Bojan Krkic and midfielder Thiago in part-exchange for the Arsenal captain. Iniesta and sidekick Xavi form a deadly central partnership that has been the platform for Barca's triumph in both La Liga and the Champions League. But he has no fear of Fabregas joining the party.
Iniesta said: "I do not believe the possible arrival of Cesc will affect Xavi and me. I think all three of us can play in the same 11.
"It remains a matter between Barca and Arsenal. But we want Cesc to play with us. He will make us a better team, not only in Spain but also in Europe.
"It is logical that Barcelona are looking at new players, because it's always necessary to improve the squad and win even more trophies."
Iniesta, who scored Spain's World Cup-winning goal against Holland last summer, is also hopeful coach Pep Guardiola will remain at the club long-term. Guardiola signed a contract in February which ties him to the Catalan giants until the end of next season. But Iniesta is keen for him to stay on well beyond that.
He added: "Coaching continuity is the key to guaranteed success.
"Guardiola is key to this team. He is essential.
"I hope next year will not be his last.
"We all feel that with him things become that much easier."
