Arda fuels exit speculation

Arda Turan has fuelled speculation that he could leave Atletico Madrid this summer by confirming “my agent is currently in touch with three to four clubs”.

The Turkish midfielder was reported on Friday as telling Los Colchoneros that he sought a move away on the grounds that he was unhappy with the amount of defensive work asked of him by Diego Simeone.

“The transfer [rumours] are not entirely correct. My agent is currently in touch with [three to four] clubs. I will update you all if a deal is made,” he wrote on Twitter.

Josep Maria Bartomeu has reportedly made Arda one of his Barcelona presidential pledges, while the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have also been linked with his signature.
