The Catalans have confirmed a deal worth €41 million has been struck for the attacker, though he could still be sent back to Atletico Madrid should their new president wish
Barcelona have completed a €41 million deal to bring Atletico Madrid star Arda Turan to Camp Nou this summer.

The Turkey international, 28, confirmed earlier this summer that he would not be extending his stay with the 2013-14 Liga champions and had been linked with a number of Europe's top clubs.

However, Barca emerged as clear favourites for his signature in recent days and have now announced his arrival for an initial fee of €34m, with €7m to come by way of add-ons.

Presidential candidate Josep Maria Bartomeu had made it clear he planned to bring the versatile winger to Camp Nou should he win this month's election, claiming head coach Luis Enrique asked for his signing.

However, Barca retain the option of selling the player back to Atletico for a €4.1m loss before July 20 should the new president - set to be elected 48 hours earlier - not wish to sanction his arrival.

If Arda is kept on by the incoming Barca chief then he will not appear for his new club until 2016 due to the Fifa-imposed transfer ban.

The European champions are prohibited from fielding new signings until January after being found guilty of irregularities in the transfer of youngsters from overseas last year.

Arda has already been linked with a possible loan switch to Turkish champions Galatasaray until the winter break of next season in order to allow him to sustain form and fitness during Barca's suspension.

Isco and Nacho will change their squad numbers for the coming season. The central-midfielder malagueño will give up number 23 that he has worn for two seasons at Real Madrid and will play in the number 22 jersey. Nacho, the canterano who came through Madrid's youth ranks will wear number 6 in place of 18 which he wore in the 2014-15 season.

he arrived at Real Madrid at ten years old. Now, at 23, he will form part of the first team squad and has just extended his contract until 2020. On the cusp of his third season with the Whites, Dani Carvajal has won 4 titles as a madridista: 1 Champions League, 1 European Supercup, 1 World Club Cup and 1 Copa del Rey.

He made his official debut for Real Madrid on the 18th of September 2013. It was in la Liga against Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu (2-1). Since then the wing-back has played 88 times in six competitions, has scored 2 goals and provided 8 assists.

He's played in all competitions
In his first season he played 45 games (31 in la Liga, 10 in the Champions League and 4 in the Copa Del Rey), while in 14/15 he played 43 (30 in la Liga, 5 in the Champions League, 3 in the Copa Del Rey, 2 in the World Club Cup, 2 in the Spanish Supercup and 1 in the European Supercup).

He arrived at Real Madrid in 2002 and began playing with the Under-11s.

The madrileño is one of the youth academy's biggest success stories. He joined the club in 2002 where he began playing with the Under-11s. Year on year he progressed through the youth categories playing nine seasons and becoming a key player in the Under-19s Liga and Copa de Campeones winning season in 2009/10.

This opened the door to Real Madrid Castilla, where he became a regular starter at right back and was a driving force in the team's promotion to the second division in the 2011/12 campaign. Spending one season at Bayer Leverkusen, he returned to his boyhood club in 2013 with whom he has just renewed his contract until 2020.

Arda Turan and Paul Pogba would be
welcome additions to Barcelona , says Andres
Iniesta .
Barca have already seen an €80 million offer
for Pogba rejected after a consortium met
with Juventus officials in Italy this week.
Arda, meanwhile, is expected to leave
Atletico Madrid this summer and Barca presidential candidate Josep Maria
Bartomeu has confirmed that Luis Enrique wants to sign the Turkey international .
And Iniesta says both players would be welcome additions to the club as they
look to mount another title challenge on all fronts next term.
"Pogba's a player that every great team wants to have. He's a young lad but with
the talent and the strength for the best teams. If he comes and can be with us,
he'll be well received," he said to reporters.
"He's a great player, a great talent with a lot of quality," he added of Arda. "If he
ultimately comes, he'll be welcome, as any other team-mate would."
Iniesta also expressed his delight at Dani Alves' decision to sign a new contract
and the arrival of Aleix Vidal from Sevilla.
"It's phenomenal that Dani will continue. I think he's one of the best signing in a
long time," said the Spain star.
"Vidal's had a great season and he comes to a great team to keep improving."
Iniesta also believes Neymar will continue to learn as a player following his Copa
America suspension for a post-match outburst at both players and the referee.
"I know more or less what happened, not in the dressing room but on the pitch.
Ney takes a lot, sometimes it's difficult but he's learning. He's still young," he
said.
Finally, the World Cup-winner from 2010 stated that Barca have every intention of
going for a clean sweep of trophies in 2015-16 following their treble triumph in the
past season. "The six titles are an objective," he added. "Almost nobody thought
we could win another treble, and almost no-one thinks we can win six titles
because it's very difficult. But we have the players and the team to try to get it."

The FC
Barcelona player
Martín Montoya Torralbo has been loaned to
the Italian club FC Internazionale Milano for
one season.
The two clubs have agreed that the loan
contract shall be automatically renewed for a
further season if the player appears in a
certain number of games.
At the end of the second season, Inter shall
retain an option to sign the player on a
permanent basis.
The Managing Commission has approved the
player loan to FC Internazionale Milano after
receiving a positive report from the Club’s
Technical Committee.

messi might be there, but do you know that Chile too have their own tactics?

For me I see Chile winning the copa america....

Vidal to join arsenal will be impressive. now Chelsea fans, coach and players should be warn......

It was a case of New York, New York last night
as the city's soccer derby took place.
Bradley Wright-Phillips scored for New York Red
Bulls as they beat New York City FC 3-1 in Major
League Soccer.
New York City, the franchise team of English
side Manchester City where Wright-Phillips
started his career, took the lead through Thomas
McNamara.
Wright-Phillips equalised for the visitors just after
the break before Chris Duvall put them in front
and Matt Miazga secured the win.

handsome

Arsenal have reportedly agreed a deal for
Juventus powerhouse Arturo Vidal, per the
latest rumours.
According to the Telegraph, Chilean newspaper
La Stampa is reporting Vidal will join Arsenal in a
£21 million deal.
Signing the Chilean would be an incredible coup
for Arsenal.
The box-to-box midfielder scored eight goals
and provided four assists for Juventus last
season, demonstrating his powering runs
forward and eye for goal.
More importantly for Arsenal, the 28-year-old's
hunger for the ball translates into an incredible
defensive work rate.

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.

Brazil forward Roberto Firmino is Liverpool's
second most expensive signing
Football League clubs can sign players once
they play their final game of the season. The
Premier League window officially starts on 1
July but clubs can sign players from June.
Out-of-contract players generally move on 1 July,
although deals can be confirmed before then.
Clubs can apply for emergency dispensation to
sign players, usually a goalkeeper, immediately if
they have an injury crisis.
All Premier League, Football League, Scottish
Premiership and major European transfers will
appear here.

page and for all the manager ins and outs for
June, see the current managers' list.

Freemanan:
He has to

not that he has to, he must

Sepp Blatter has been urged to stick by his
decision to quit as president of world football's
governing body, Fifa.
Blatter announced on 2 June that he would step
down at an extraordinary congress between
December and March.
However, on Thursday the 79-year-old said he
had not resigned and was thought to be
considering re-election.
"The times of flirting with the power are
definitely gone," said Domenico Scala, the
independent chairman of Fifa's audit and
compliance committee.
"I call on all concerned - including Mr Blatter - to
endorse in the interest of the reforms
unequivocally the announced changing of the
guard at the top of Fifa."
Two criminal investigations into alleged Fifa
corruption began in the week that Blatter was
elected for a fifth term, with seven Fifa officials
arrested on charges of receiving bribes.
Four days after his re-election, Blatter - who is
reportedly under investigation in the United
States - said: "While I have a mandate from the
membership of Fifa, I do not feel that I have a
mandate from the entire world of football.
"Therefore, I have decided to lay down my
mandate at an extraordinary elective congress. I
will continue to exercise my functions as Fifa
president until that election."
However, Blatter did not use the words 'resign'
or 'resignation'. He did add, however, that the
election would be for his "successor" and said: "I
shall not be a candidate."

Chelsea - Jose Mourinho
"The Special One" got his eye in during the first
season of his second spell at Stamford Bridge
before satisfying his hunger for trophies with two
outstanding signings in Diego Costa and Cesc
Fabregas, who inspired a third Premier League
title for the Portuguese at Chelsea.
Mourinho will know Manchester City and
Manchester United, in particular, will wave the
chequebook (if that is what they still do) this
summer and while he was relaxing at Queen's
Club, make no mistake this ruthless, cunning and
brilliantly talented manager will be plotting his
next moves.
He now has the comfort of being totally secure
in his relationship with Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich - and vice-versa.

Manchester City - Manuel Pellegrini
Manchester City's decent end to last season that
secured second place ensured he would get a
third year in charge, as did Pep Guardiola's
decision to honour the final year of his contract
at Bayern Munich.
The feeling remains that Guardiola will eventually
end up at Etihad Stadium but Pellegrini will want
to blow away the clouds of speculation with a
much, much better season. The pressure will
only increase with a poor start.
This may be his final season at City and he will
want to go out with his reputation enhanced.

Arsenal - Arsene Wenger
Wenger is the eternal optimist and things look to
be heading in the right direction again at Arsenal
with a talented squad showing real signs of
development, augmented by a masterstroke in
the £32m signing of Sanchez, and greater
resilience that brought wins at Manchester City
in the Premier League and Manchester United in
the FA Cup quarter-final.
There are still plenty of Arsenal fans out there,
however, who will only come back onside with
Wenger if he can use this summer to build for a
serious title challenge. Can he finally do it?

Manchester United - Louis van Gaal
Last season was mission accomplished for Van
Gaal as he put Manchester United back in the
Champions League - but it was not totally
convincing, with many indifferent performances
and transfer disappointments in the shape of
Falcao and £59.7m British record buy Angel Di
Maria. Luke Shaw, at £27.5m, also still has much
to prove.
Van Gaal has already been handed £31m to sign
Netherlands forward Memphis Depay from PSV
Eindhoven and reportedly has a £150m transfer
fund. For the sort of money he will be paying,
demands will rise.
Van Gaal has done the job so far but it is
unlikely his Old Trafford paymasters will want
United off the pace in fourth next season given
the vast scale of investment.

Tottenham - Mauricio Pochettino
Spurs looked top-four candidates at one point
but faded into fifth place as Liverpool's season
went into meltdown. It was a satisfactory first
campaign for Pochettino at White Hart Lane, but
no more than that.
History tells us how ruthlessly demanding Spurs
chairman Daniel Levy can be, so the pressure is
always on any manager to deliver. All the moves
Pochettino makes this season - keeping Kane
and goalkeeper Lloris chief among them - must
be aimed at the top four.
The price of failure can be terminal at White
Hart Lane.
Liverpool - Brendan Rodgers
This time last year Rodgers was deservedly
basking in the glow of a thrilling season that
almost brought Liverpool their first title in 24
years - now no other manager will have to fight
harder to keep his job.
Backed by Liverpool owners Fenway Sports
Group after a dismal end to the season, Rodgers
knows he simply cannot afford a false start with
an increasingly critical fanbase and managers of
high reputation such as Jurgen Klopp and Carlo
Ancelotti out of work.
Logic and fair play dictated Rodgers deserved to
see in the start of this season but he will know
the outcome if the start of this campaign looks
anything like the end of the last one.

why will Chelsea regret? they have the second world best kepper

Chelsea
Mourinho wants a keeper and Begovic appears to
be the main candidate. If he wants him and
Begovic can be persuaded to forsake first-team
football, expect that to be done.
He has also been linked with Everton's elegant
young defender John Stones but that is highly
unlikely, this summer at least.
Real Madrid's Raphael Varane is another central
defender Mourinho would love but there is no
willingness to do a deal at present so unless
there is a dramatic alteration of stance this can
be ruled out.
The big surprise is the sudden interest in
Radamel Falcao after his failure at Manchester
United. The Colombian will jump at the chance
to see his career revived and that is more or
less a done deal.
One more maybe? A holding midfield player?
Alex Song is an outsider from Barcelona, as is
Zenit St Petersburg's Axel Witsel. Both would be
a surprise, especially with AC Milan closing on
Witsel.

Manchester City
Liverpool's Sterling appears to be the current top
priority and with Roberto Firmino arriving at
Anfield, expect this saga to end sooner or later.
The big one for City would be Juventus's Paul
Pogba - but they may miss out on this prime
target.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in the
man Sir Alex Ferguson let escape from
Manchester United and while City can compete
all the way financially, they remain behind on
worldwide stature.
It would be a massive coup if they pull it off but
it is hard to see it happening.
So could it be that Arsenal's Wilshere would be
an alternative? The England midfielder almost
seems surgically attached to Arsenal and his
own noises do not suggest he wants a move, but
City have proved money talks in the past,
especially to the Gunners after signing the likes
of Samir Nasri, Emmanuel Adebayor, Gael Clichy
and Kolo Toure.
Wolfsburg's Kevin de Bruyne is also on the radar
and no doubt he will receive a glowing reference
from his Belgium captain Vincent Kompany.
Another who, if City really push for the deal, you
can see arriving at Etihad Stadium.

Arsenal
Arsenal's big deal is just about done in the shape
of goalkeeper Cech from Chelsea - a perfect
signing and the type that could give them that
extra push they need.
Arsene Wenger still needs to strengthen in
central midfield and Sporting Lisbon's William
Carvalho looks ideal, if somewhat pricey at
£28.5m.
The signing of Alexis Sanchez surely proved the
wisdom of the occasional major investment and
Wenger certainly has the cash to do the deal if
he wants.
Arsenal were linked with Monaco's Geoffrey
Kondogbia but he has gone to Inter Milan, so
Wenger may have to move fast to get ahead of
Monaco if they target Carvalho as a
replacement.
Juventus's powerful Chilean Arturo Vidal is
another within Arsenal's financial compass and
Wenger is an admirer.
Real Madrid's Karim Benzema has also been
touted but there would surely be interest from
elsewhere if he was available and that's a long
shot.
And Zlatan Ibrahimovic? Wouldn't that be
wonderful - but hard to see.
Manchester United
Louis van Gaal has cash to splash and would
happily part with £40m of it to sign Tottenham's
Harry Kane - but that looks very unlikely with the
player himself stating he is happy at Spurs and
chairman Daniel Levy ready to slam the door in
United's faces.
Will he have better luck with Spurs keeper Lloris?
Possibly. The Frenchman is not quite as
attached to Spurs as Kane, keen for Champions
League football and the perfect replacement for
soon-to-be-departed De Gea.
He will cost a lot but Van Gaal apparently has
£150m to spend. Cech would have been the
other ideal purchase but the lure of Arsenal and
staying in London swayed that one.
United are in the market for a centre-half and
the surprise name has been Real Madrid's
Sergio Ramos. A pantomime villain of a
footballer but a magnificent defender.
There has been talk of a straight swap for De
Gea and of Ramos having a lengthy affection for
United. This falls in to the "believe it when you
see it" category as Real have no desire to sell
and there is also a new contract for Ramos to
negotiate. United have proved a useful lever in
talks in the past, as Cristiano Ronaldo proved.
Valencia's Argentine Nicolas Otamendi is a more
realistic defensive target and that deal is there
to be done.
Bastian Schweinsteiger is another name of
interest and this could happen as he reaches the
conclusion of his Bayern Munich career. A
possibility but is he still the old authority?
Southampton's France international Morgan
Schneiderlin is another option.
Van Gaal will certainly be busy in the weeks
ahead - with that new goalkeeper right at the top
of his "in" tray.

Tottenham
More a question of keeping rather than signing in
the first instance. Hard to see any way Kane will
leave but a bit more of a doubt over Lloris, with
Manchester United after a keeper.
There will be plenty of outs too in the shape of
Aaron Lennon, Roberto Soldado, Paulinho,
Adebayor and Mousa Dembele.
This will mean striking reinforcements will be
needed and one target may well be West Brom's
Saido Berahino. There has already been
speculation about an offer of Lennon, Andros
Townsend and cash for the England Under-21
striker.
This may appeal to Baggies boss Tony Pulis and
Berahino has always given the impression he
wants bigger and better things.
Liverpool
It's been busy at Anfield, with Brazil's Firmino
the latest through the door at £29m. So what's
left?
Rodgers wants a new striker and his ideal choice
is Aston Villa's Christian Benteke - but that
£32.5m escape clause is currently too much. If
it drops, expect a deal, otherwise Liverpool will
look at Sevilla's Carlos Bacca and Zenit's
Salomon Rondon.

Chelsea
Find a top-class replacement for Petr Cech. Jose
Mourinho reportedly has reservations about
letting the man he regards as one of the best
two goalkeepers in the world - along with last
season's first choice Thibaut Courtois - make his
projected move to Arsenal. Understandably so.
Cech provided the perfect safety net for Courtois
last season, relieving Mourinho of any worries
about that position.
He will expect a high-quality replacement for
Cech - and the word is Stoke City's Asmir
Begovic is the name attracting his attention.
Mourinho may also want to strengthen in a
couple of other positions. With talk of John Mikel
Obi being allowed to leave, a holding midfield
player may be acquired as cover for Nemanja
Matic, while a striker will also be needed after
the departure of Didier Drogba.
Manchester City
Manager Manuel Pellegrini needs to spend the
summer rediscovering how to inspire a squad
that should have made a much more robust
defence of its Premier League title than finishing
eight points behind champions Chelsea.
Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak
has already put the marker down for both
Pellegrini and their rivals by announcing they will
build a squad to take them to "the next level".
Pellegrini will be expected not only to assemble
that squad but get them firing from the first
whistle, otherwise the shadow of Pep Guardiola
will loom even larger over his future.
He must relight Yaya Toure's fire and needs to
spend big on a new central defender given that
Eliaquim Mangala so far represents poor value at
£32m. He will also be in the market for midfield
reinforcements to partner Toure and supplement
the loss of the versatile James Milner.
And the biggest question of all may be asked
very soon. How does Raheem Sterling fit in?
Arsenal
The main priority for manager Arsene Wenger is
to maintain the outstanding form from the
second half of last season that culminated in the
ruthless beating handed out to Aston Villa in the
FA Cup final.
The Gunners look closer to genuine title
challengers than they have for many seasons.
But how often have we heard that before only to
be disappointed?
The major problem of a high-quality keeper
appears to have been solved in style with the
imminent signing of Cech - now Wenger must
beef up his midfield to allow the skills of the
likes of Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Mesut Ozil
and company to flourish further.
In an ideal world big money would also go on an
elite striker to give support to Alexis Sanchez
and put pressure on Olivier Giroud.
Manchester United
Top priority is a very simple one. With David De
Gea seemingly Real Madrid-bound, manager
Louis van Gaal must somehow find the man to
replace the player who turned so many draws
into wins last season. De Gea was player of the
year by a country mile.
Central defence needs work, with Phil Jones,
Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling still
unconvincing. United looked too vulnerable too
often last season.
With a reported £150m to spend, Van Gaal needs
to add quality in midfield and must surely bring
in a high-class striker, with the failed Falcao
experiment over and Robin van Persie fading.
Tottenham
The priority is to find the sort of young, flexible
players who fit in with manager Mauricio
Pochettino's trademark high-intensity, pressing
game. Too often last season it looked like Spurs
were struggling to implement his style.
Pochettino also needs a goalscorer to support
Harry Kane and somehow get Emmanuel
Adebayor off the wage bill. He has outlived his
usefulness at White Hart Lane.
And, at all costs, keep goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Liverpool
Where do you start? Number one on manager
Brendan Rodgers' "to do" list is to make an
instant impact in the face of a testing fixture list,
starting with a return to the scene of last
season's final day debacle at Stoke City, where
they lost 6-1.
The bottom line is that if Liverpool make a poor
start Rodgers will surely lose his job, such was
the ill-feeling by the time the last ball was
kicked.
Priorities are everywhere.
Liverpool must sort out Sterling's situation, find
a reliable central defender to partner Martin
Skrtel, replace Steven Gerrard in midfield, find
buyers for the likes of Mario Balotelli and Rickie
Lambert - then bring in a reliable, top-class
striker to replace the goals Luis Suarez took with
him and which were never replaced.
Oh and perform the miracle of keeping Daniel
Sturridge fit.
Enough to be going on with Brendan?

yes Chelsea breeding ground

West Ham have signed France international
midfielder Dimitri Payet from Marseille on a
five-year contract in a deal worth more than
£10m.
The Hammers say Payet, 28, has signed for "an
eight-figure" fee, although exact details have not
been released.
"We have signed a world-class player. If he was
22 he would be £30m plus, but he's still in his
prime," said co-chairman David Sullivan.
There is an option for another 12 months beyond
the initial contract.
Payet has set up 51 goals over the past six
Ligue 1 seasons with St-Etienne, Lille and
Marseille, according to his new club.
"I like attacking football and the fact they're
counting on me to help achieve that gives me a
sense of responsibility," he said.
He follows the signings of Spanish midfielder
Pedro Obiang and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper
Darren Randolph.
Payet has played 15 times in the Champions
League, and will be available for West Ham's
Europa League campaign, which begins on 2 July
under new manager Slaven Bilic.

Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker, 20, will spend the 2015-16 season on loan at
Vitesse Arnhem in the Dutch Eredivisie.
The England under-20 captain is contracted to Chelsea for a further four years
and ended last season by helping MK Dons win automatic promotion to the
Championship.
