Arda Turan may be loaned out to Besiktas

Turkish sports newspaper 'Fanatik' is reporting that Besiktas are extremely close to completing a deal to sign Arda Turan on a season-long loan. 

Taking into account the fact that the Barcelona man came through the ranks at Galatasaray, it would be huge news among Turkish football fans. However, it is quite possible given that Besiktas are currently the most powerful team in the country. 

Despite this, Turan has shown his dislike for the Turkish champions on a number of occasions meaning that the move would not be a simple one. 

The ex-Atletico Madrid player arrived at Barcelona last season for €34 million. He played 25 times scoring two goals, but despite a promising start, he ended the season out of Luis Enrique's first-team squad and plans.
