Arda Turan: All you need to know about the reported Manchester United and Liverpool target

His intention is to leave Spain this summer,” Bulut told Spanish newspaper AS. “His desire is to leave and to play in the Premier League, that is the path he would like to take to continue his career. We are currently in talks with three teams but I cannot reveal the names of the clubs. However, I can tell you that they are the best in England and in European football.” The British press have linked Manchester United, City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal with Turan in recent years, and Bulut claims the 28-year-old is also wanted by Italian giants AC Milan and French side Paris St Germain. “It’s true that Milan and PSG are two of the six teams that are interested in him,” added Bulut. “But the Italian team is not among our options because they will not play in the Champions League next season. PSG is a possibility although Arda always has the desire to play in England.” What’s his background? Turan, a Turkish international with over 80 international caps, first rose to prominence at Galatasaray. He made his debut as a teenager in 2005 and became a key player the following season. He was named Galatasaray captain at the age of just 21, and after making close to 200 appearances for his boyhood club, he was snapped up by Atletico for 12million euros in 2011. The fee made him the most expensive Turkish player in history, and he has been worth every penny for Atletico. Turan has become a key player for Diego Simeone’s side, making over 40 appearances in each of his four seasons at the club and playing a key role in their recent La Liga, Europa League and Copa del Rey successes. Turan is not prolific – he has averaged 4.5 league goals per season since 2011 – but he has weighed in with some crucial strikes in the last two seasons. The playmaker was injured for their Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid in 2014, but he scored against Zenit St Petersburg, Porto and Chelsea earlier in the campaign. Last season, he netted Atletico’s winner as they triumphed 2-1 at the Bernabeu in September, and he was also on target in a 1-0 win over Juventus. What are his strengths? As well as having a tendency to pop up with crucial goals, Turan is intelligent in possession with accurate distribution that is usually at the heart of Atletico’s attacking play. His La Liga pass completion rate of 85.2 per cent was by far the highest of anyone at the club in 2014/15, and he has also averaged 5.25 assists per season in league and European games since 2011.
