Arsenal, Chelsea alerted as Barcelona actively seek Arda Turan sale

Barcelona are actively touting Arda Turan's availability around Europe.

The Turkey attacker has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea since the end of last season.

Sport says the 29-year-old joined the Blaugrana contingent who travelled to England on Monday as the team begin their next stage of pre-season preparations, although within the offices at the Camp Nou his future is yet to be resolved.

Turan's name has been mentioned by sporting director's across Europe since early June, with his high salary and 34 million euros transfer fee aiming to be recuperated by Barça.

In this regard, Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini said he was interested in signing the former Atletico Madrid player, but he has already claimed he will only leave for a top club that are "contenders for the Champions League".
