Barcelona player on the doorstep of Arsenal at the Mercato winter

Arsenal have returned to Barcelona in order to strengthen the ranks of the guns during the winter transfer market.

The AS newspaper reported that Arsenal would like to sign Turkish Arda Turan after his departure with the accounts of Ernesto Valverde, the coach of the Albugrana, and his absence from Barcelona this season.

Arsenal will continue to join him in January and Tauran has agreed to leave for the Citadel and the Catalan team has agreed to sell it.

Tauran joined FC Barcelona in 2015 with a deal worth 34 million euros from Atletico Madrid, but was only able to join the Catalan team in January 2016 because the Bulgarians were barred from signing contracts.

Arsenal had been in talks with Barcelona last summer for Toran, but the player had refused to leave the Camp Nou, received a 100 million euro offer from the Chinese league and another offer from the Turkish club Galatasaray.
