The Turkish footballer Arda Turan is getting close to the Barca exit door after having been linked with a move to Boca Juniors. The player would return to Galatasaray, who are now negotiating with the Catalan club.

Arda Turan is giving people lots to talk about in this transfer market after having played just 12 games for Istanbul Baseksehir and not even playing 300 minutes. 

But his future seems to be linked to Turkish football. Fatih Terim has publicly expressed his desire for Arda Turan to put on the Galatasaray shirt again, as he did at the beginning of his career before leaving for Atletico Madrid. 

"The club must welcome him with open arms and they deserve to be here. Galatasaray never forget about their past players and all the fans have to accept it," he said in words to 'AS'. 

The cited media outlet has also learnt that both Barca and Gala are negotiating the transfer of the Turkish international, which could become official in the coming days. 

That said, to return to Galatasaray, Arda Turan will have to make an effort, and the thing is that he would only be paid for each match he plays because the Turks have got no intention of paying for his signing.
