Galatasaray agree deal for Arda Turan

Catalan media outlet Sport is reporting that Galatasaray have reached an agreement to sign Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan.

The Turkish giants agreed to pay €1.5 million for a six-month loan deal, while they will also have the option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season.

All that’s left is for the player to accept the offer from his former club, but that is unlikely to be a problem as he is eager to leave in search of first team football.

Arda Turan is clearly not in Ernesto Valverde’s first team plans and a winter move to Galatasaray seems like a great option for all the parties concerned.

During his first spell with the Turkish giants, the 30-year-old scored 24 goals in 127 Super Lig outings.
