The Italian club are willing to offer around 20 million euros

Barcelona are hoping to get more, with interest from China and England, too

Arda Turan is not likely to remain at Barcelona next season. The Turkish player has not found a place in the first team and Barça need to bring in money to re-model their squad. 

In Italy it has been revealed that the player's agent, Ahmet Bulut, has met with Inter Milan this week. The meeting, which took place close to the club's offices, served for Inter to display their interest and talk of making an offer of around 20 million euros. Barça hope to get more for the 30-year-old. 

Despite Bulut saying in public that Arda wants to fulfill his contract at Barça, the reality is that the Catalan club are ready to listen to offers. That's what they said in January when there was the chance to go to China. 

Barca hope to get at least 28 million euros for the midfielder, so that they don't lost too much on a man they paid 37 million euros for two summers ago. 

Therefore, they feel the best market to sell to is China. Turan has been contacted by various clubs in recent months and the offers would be worth more than 30 million euros. There is also interest from Premier League sides.
