Barcelona candidate Benedito angry after Turan deal

Barcelona presidential candidate Augusti Benedito is angered by their deal for Atletico Madrid winger Arda Turan.

Benedito argued that the deal is part of the tainted legacy of the previous regime led by Josep Maria Bartomeu.

"They've left us with a huge problem, which will cost 3.5 million euros [the fee Atlético will be due if Arda doesn't join Barcelona].

"A signing that we can't use until six months from now because, and we mustn't forget this, we are under sanction from FIFA because of that person [Bartomeu]."
