Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has moved to block plans to loan out Arda Turan.
The former Atletico Madrid winger cannot play for Barca until January 1 due to their transfer ban this summer.
Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu has raised the prospect of Turan playing away on-loan for the first-half of the campaign.
But Enrique says: "He cannot play until January and this does not favor us. But I want him with us until then.
"So the transfer of Arda Turan will not be contemplated."
