Barcelona star Arda Turan was closely linked with above to Arsenal and several other Premier League clubs over the summer transfer window.
The Sun reported over the transfer window that Barcelona were ready to accept a cut-price £23 million deal for Turan.
Turan denied the claims in his most recent televised interview with NTV Spor.
