Arda Turan could be present at Barcelona's training sessions in the coming days. The Turkish midfielder, who was on loan at Basaksehir, terminated his contract with the Istanbul club after two years and will have the opportunity to be part of Ernesto Valverde's squad for the second half of the season.
In January 2018, Arda Turan signed a two-and-a-half-year loan with Basaksehir. However, with only six months left on his contract, the Turkish club released a statement detailing that the player requested to leave the team and the response to this request was positive.
Despite the chance that Arda Turan has to rejoin Barcelona, reports in Turkey indicate that he will continue his career at Galatasaray. Nevertheless, with the amount of midfield options that the Catalan team has had during the current season, the chances of him earning a spot in the team are not high.
In the first half of the season with Basaksehir, Arda Turan played twelve matches without scoring a goal. At 32 years old, 'Leónidas' is also remembered for his successful spell at Atletico Madrid, where he reached the final of the Champions League.
