He's very very close to joining Barcelona.

They have a transfer ban, and all that's came from turans camp is him wanting a new challenge preferably the premier league. I doubt he will go and sit on bench at Barca.

 

BARCA NEAR ARDA DEAL

Barcelona are in advanced negotiations with Atletico Madridmidfielder Arda Turan about a move to the Nou Camp next season, according to reports in the Spanish media.

The La Liga and European champions are understood to be confident of reaching an agreement with the 28-year-old by the end of the week.

Well then, guess those saying he is not good enough and offers nothing we do not already have can breathe a sigh of relief.

 

Now if we can jsut get some Falcao back to Atletico rumours going...

Why would Barca agree a deal a year in advance? That makes no sense.

Is this the same Barca that can't register any new players until 2016 ?

it doesnt make sense to join Barcelona 

Arda Turan team is confirmed announcement will be made Friday afternoon !

Oh?

So barca it is then, since those are the strong rumours today.

Meh not as exciting as Hazards reveal

I thought Barcelona was buying Cuadrado. I'm dissapointed now. 

I dont get why a player wanting to leave Spain according to his agent, would then stay in Spain and join a team where he cant play for 5-6 months

If it's Barca it might be an agreement to join in January

Well if Turan is joining us on Friday, someone's going to look daft:

 

@1RobBeasley

No matter what you hear, no matter what you see Arda Turan will NOT be signing for Chelsea

 

 

Think it's clear he's going to Barca, Spanish press seem confident enough.

Shame, would've been an absolutely brilliant signing for us.

Well if Turan is joining us on Friday, someone's going to look daft:

By all accounts Rob Beasley is pretty reliable with Chelsea stuff.  But I think he has a lot of guesswork too. I struggle to believe Mourinho and/or the board are willingly saying to him "yes we want him"  or  "nope, not coming here".   Just not sure.  He is also a massive troll lol

I agree that it suddenly seems nailed on it is Barca

Arda Turan has two firm offers either Tomorrow or Friday it shall be confirmed

Arda Turan won't be going to Barcelona !!!

Spurs bound! 

He was linked to us today but for his buy out fee of 29mill and wages closing on 200k a week. Making the report less than reliable. Those are city or United etc figures from our country.

So of not barca, which seems unlikely, one of those two imo.

Shame, would've been an absolutely brilliant signing for us.

Thank heavens. Would rather give the youth a chance in midfield.

It's an adorable but slightly naive sentiment and it ain't gonna happen.

Turan is top quality and would've been awesome for us.
