Atletico Madrid's Arda Turan set to join Barcelona for €35m

Arda Turan is close to joining Barcelona from Atletico Madrid, according to reports Barcelona based paper Sport.

The Turkish midfielder announced he would leave Atletico Madrid this summer which alerted top European clubs like Manchester city, Manchester United, Chelsea, and PSG .

Luis Enrique was very interested in Turan as he seeks a replacement for Xavi, who has moved to play for Al Sadd in Qatar.

Barcelona have reached an agreement with Atletico for a €35m transfer deal for Arda Turan, but Turan still has to agree personal terms with the European and Spanish champions.

Ermmm, agreeing personal terms with Barcelona won't be a problem for Turan I guess.

Due to the upcoming Barcelona elections, there might be a delay in confirming the deal.

If signed, Arda Turan will start playing for Barcelona in January as they are still banned from making transfers till then.
