Reported Barcelona transfer target Arda Turan
has fuelled speculation that he’ll leave Atletico
Madrid this summer, claiming his agent is in
talks with a selection of clubs regarding a
transfer.
There have been myriad reports doing the
rounds about the future of the Turkish
international, and he took to Twitter to clarify
the situation:
As noted by Football Espana , Turan has been
linked with a move to the Catalan giants, as
well as Premier League juggernauts Chelsea
and Manchester United . It’s also written that
Josep Maria Bartomeu has promised to land the
28-year-old should he win the upcoming
presidential elections.
Here’s a look at what Turan could potentially
add to the Barcelona side:

It’s easy to see why Barcelona might be keen
on the Atleti man. Turan is not only well
acquainted with La Liga, but he can operate in
various roles across midfield and possesses the
inherent technical qualities that are imperative
in order to thrive as an attacking player at the
Camp Nou.

Football journalist Rafael Hernandez thinks that
whichever club does eventually land the
midfielder, he’ll be a wonderful acquisition:
There are some problems with a potential move
to Barcelona, however. He’s a player who would
cost big money for the Catalonians, and at the
age of 28, perhaps the summer budget could be
better utilised elsewhere. In addition, it’s tough
to see where Turan would fit into an already
formidable Blaugrana attack.

Okay... Would soon buy my own...
