Chelsea target expects to sign for Barcelona on Friday

Atletico Madrid midfielder Arda Turan will almost certainly be leaving the Vicente Calderon and a decision on his future is set to be made this week.

The three clubs reportedly interested in signing the Turkish midfielder are Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United.

Of the two Premier League sides, Chelsea seemed a lot more likely to bring in Turan, and a swap deal involving former Atletico full back Filipe Luis has been mooted.

But, Mundo Deportivo report today that Turan himself believes he will sign for Barcelona on Friday.

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique is keen on signing Turan and the Turkish midfielder is expected to cost around 35 million euros.

Whilst Turan could move in the coming days, he may not be able to play for Barcelona immediately due to their transfer ban.

As a result, Mundo Deportivo suggest that Turan could go to Galatasaray on loan until the end of the calendar year or appear for Barcelona B, if UEFA allow such a move.

Turan has two years left on his Atletico Madrid deal and would be a great asset wherever he ends up in the coming days.
