The agent of Arda Turan insists signing for Barcelona was always the priority.
The Turkey international joined Barca yesterday from Atletico Madrid, despite interest from Chelsea.
"We have not spoken at any time with Chelsea," insisted Ahmet Bulut.
"Barca has always been the first choice of Arda and we have reached an agreement today on Luis Enrique's insistence. He wanted the player.
"Today, it was all closed by Luis Enrique."
