Report: Barcelona make Arda Turan enquiry

Barcelona have reportedly contacted Atletico Madrid over the possible transfer of Arda Turan.

The Turkish international is contracted to Atletico until 2017, but the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool have been strongly linked with the attacking midfielder in recent weeks.

According to AS, Barcelona have now joined the race, with director of sport Andoni Zubizarreta a keen admirer of the 27-year-old, who can operate in a number of forward positions.

Atletico won their first La Liga title since 1996 last term, but a number of their key players, including Filipe Luis, Miranda, Koke and Diego Costa, have all been linked with moves away this summer.
