Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan has spent this week in Turkey.

CNN Turkey reports the midfielder returned to his homeland, taking advantage of two days off, to see family, friends and to negotiate his future.

His agent, Ahmet Bulut, said recently that Arda has three of four offers on the table, but that none were from Turkey -- although other reports say Galatasaray maintain an interest, which would explain his trip home.

In any case, Arda's high salary at Barça is a problem. For that reason, a loan move in January may be more likely.
