Barcelona have reportedly put Arda Turan on the transfer market and he is a target for Arsenal and Chelsea.
Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez is said to have urged Arsene Wenger to seal a deal for Arda Turan in the summer transfer window. Reports suggest Wenger is looking to play the Barca man in an all-star attacking midfield three alongside Mesut Ozil and Sanchez – and it appears the latter is also keen on this idea.
But Wenger is presently focussed on Leicester City ace Riyad Mahrez following reports that the Algerian was spotted at the Gunners’ pre-season match with Lens on Friday.
The Turkey international captain has only made 25 appearances for Barcelona since he joined the Catalan giants from Atletico Madrid last summer, scoring two goals with four assists. The 29-year-old is already being heavily linked with a £20million move to the Emirates.
Marca reports that the Blaugrana have already blown their budget for the summer with the arrival of expensive stars like Andre Gomes, Samuel Umtiti, Lucas Digne and Denis Suarez.
Javier Mascherano has also decided to remain at Camp Nou and is negotiating an improved contract.
This means they need to sell and Arda Turan is the first name on the out list.
Barça paid €34m to get him from Atletico Madrid a year ago, but he struggled to make an impact in his first campaign.
