Arda Turan’s agent in talks Barcelona, amongst others
Paul Pogba may not be Barcelona’s only midfield target. Arda Turan has confirmed that he is on his way out of Atletico, telling followers on his official Twitter page: “The transfer rumors are not entirely correct. My agent is currently in touch with 3-4 clubs. I will update you all if a deal is made.”
Previously his agent Bulut told: “His intention is to leave Spain this summer. His will is to leave and to play in the Premier League, that is the path he would like to take to continue his career. We are currently in talks with three teams but I cannot reveal the names of the clubs. However, I can tell you that they are the best in England and in European football.”
Marc Bartra posts enigmatic Twitter message ahead of talks over his future
Marc Bartra’s professional future has still not been clarified, although recent developments indicate he is very likely to still be wearing the Blaugrana next season. The FC Barcelona defender, though, has taken to Twitter to post an enigmatic message. “No force will knock down your dreams, because they feed on your own light, your own passion…,” he wrote.

Manchester United and Arsenal join race for Pedro Rodriguez

Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United eye an unlikely move for Barcelona’s Alba
Manchester United are keen on Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba. Louis van Gaal’s side want to sign Alba this summer, according to reports in England, even though it is highly unlikely, even impossible, that the player from L’Hospitalet de Llobregat will leave the Catalan club.
It’s your turn
What do you think? Would Arda Turan improve the current squad at Barcelona? Should Pedro leave to get more playing time elsewhere? I’d love to hear your views. Share your thoughts with our fellow Blaugranas in the comment box below.
He said he'll hung his boots at FC Barcelona, no chance for any until he decides to leave, forget him!!!
Exactly. Jordi Alba is a key player in Luis Enrique's scheme and, with that in mind, even considering his departure is pointless.
The transfer ban and, to a lesser extent, the upcoming election have really made things difficult. Speculation as to who we might or should sign is almost irrelevant. One thing is certain. We can't afford to lose any important players.
One of those is Pedro. He is an important backup to The Trident. It is understandable that he may want more playing time but he should remember that he is at the best club in the world.
Fortunately, Marc Bartra, a player who will be a Barcelona starter for many years to come, has realised that. Anywhere he goes, where he is certain to start, is very much a step backwards.
While Pedro has given Barcelona a lot over the years, I can't help but thinking he should be looking for regular football at 28 years of age. Given the quality of Messi, Suarez and Neymar, that won't happen at the Camp Nou.
Barca should sign one defender and one midfielder. Hummels or Mustafi for the defence and Pogba in thhe midfield
If, as it seems, Bartra stays, there is no need to sign any more defenders in my opinion. And yes, agreed on Pogba: A superb signing that, if completed, won't come cheap, unfortunately.
Sign Matt Hummels or Skrodan Mustafi to strengthened d defence. Then Ilkay Gundogan and/or Pogba will be a great addition
