Arda Turan has admitted on his Twitter that his agent is "in contact" with several teams, although he says that the transfer rumors that have emerged so far are "not completely correct".
"The transfer rumors are not completely correct. My agent is currently in contact with 3 or 4 clubs. I will keep you informed if any agreement is reached," the Turkish player posted on social media. Atletico Madrid already knows the intentions of the Turkish player, who has decided to speak out in first person today.
On June 27th, Ahmet Bulut, the player's representative, revealed to AS that Arda wanted to leave Atletico and was seduced by the idea of playing in England. "He intends to leave Spain this summer. His will is to leave to play in the Premier League, that is the path he would like to take to continue his career," explained Bulut, who acknowledged that "his departure from Atletico is not easy as he has a release clause of 41 million."
In his tweet today, Arda confirms the statements of his agent in AS, which said: "There are ongoing conversations with three teams, for the moment I cannot say their names, but they are the best in England and European football."
Chelsea and Manchester United are the clubs with the most possibilities to sign him and Bulut has already stated that he is negotiating with both. Atletico respects Arda's decision but will only let him leave if an offer is made that is in line with the player's conditions and importance, taking into account that his release clause is 41 million euros.
In recent days, the Atletico's '10' has also been linked to the environment of the FC Barcelona presidential elections. Mundo Deportivo reported a few days ago that if Bartomeu is elected president, Arda would be his star for this season.
Interest from Milan and PSG: "Yes, it is true, Milan and PSG are two of the six teams that have shown interest in him. But the Italian team is not an option for him because they do not play in the Champions League and it has been put on hold. PSG is a possibility, but Arda has always had the desire to prove himself in England," Bulut said a few days ago.
