Man United transfer news: £24m Barcelona star & Red Devils target nearing return to Galatasaray

Turkey international winger Arda Turan is nearing a return to the Super Lig this summer.

The 30-year-old is expected to leave Barcelona this summer after following out of favour with manager Ernesto Valverde.

According to the Spanish outlet Don Balon, Barca legend Leonel Messi has told Barcelona to ditch Turan before the transfer window slams shut on Friday evening.

Meanwhile, Turkish outlet Radyospor have claimed that Galatasaray appear to be in pole position in the race to sign Turan.

Per the source, neither Monaco or Manchester United have made a deadline day move for the flamboyant midfielder.

Despite not wanting a return to the Turkish league, Turan may have no option but to re-sign for his former club Galatasaray.

The Turkey international could however opt to remain at Barcelona. Turan still has three-years left on a lucrative deal with the La Liga giants.

Turan joined Barcelona for £24 million two seasons ago from Atletico Madrid.
