Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo meanwhile, claim that Arsenal have held talks with the agent of Turan.

The 30-year-old faces an uncertain future at Barcelona.

Turan’s status at Barca will remain up in the air until current manager Luis Enrique’s successor is named.

Enrique played a key role in signing Turan from Atletico Madrid in 2015.

Additionally the Barca head coach has turned down big money offers from China to keep Turan at the club.

The Turkish international has won ever domestic trophy in Spain as well as the Europa League and European Super Cup.

Turan has a total of 13 goals as well as seven assists in all competitions this season but has failed to lock down a regular starting role due to injuries.
