Barcelona are prepared to let Arda Turan be sold at the end of the season.

According to a report on talkSPORT the midfielder, who has been strongly linked with Arsenal, will be available for £25m in the summer.

Turan joined Barca from Atletico Madrid in 2015 but has struggled to make a real impact at the Nou Camp with big changes planned under the new management team.

At 30 years of age it’s unlikely that the Turkish internationalist will be required by the new regime with talks underway about a departure with England the most likely destination.

Arsenal are also planning big changes with Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain expected to leave before they enter the final year of their contract.

There are strong ties between Barca and Arsenal dating back a number of years with little settling in time expected for the experienced midfielder who has been playing in La Liga for six years after starting his career in Turkey with Galatasaray.
