Barcelona players and board split over Turan sale

Barcelona teammates are urging Arda Turan to stay.

The Turkey international midfielder is the subject of a massive offer from China this month - and he is seriously considering it.

"I read about newspapers reporting offers in China," said Turan.

"I know how it works, clubs can talk. I am very happy in Barcelona..."

Barca are willing to sell Turan for €40 million - but his teammates, including Lionel Messi - are urging the midfielder to reject China and stay with them.
