Barcelona vastly overpaid for Arda Turan says study

Barcelona overpaid Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Arda Turan earlier this summer according to a study by the CIES Football Observatory.

The study has calculated the estimated worth of footballers and compared it with their actual transfer value.

The CIES estimate the value of the player by looking at his age, playing position, contract situation, international status, experience, performance and the level of competition the individual plays at.

Barcelona overpaid by more than €15 million according to the report.
