It's a turning table, when few weeks ago, it was reported Chelsea have reached a pre-contract agreement to sign Ardan from Atletico Madrid. The Catalonia club Barcelonia have now gone ahead of Chelsea to complete the signing of 28 year old Ardan Turan for a reported £24m which could eventually rise to £29m with potential add ons.
The Turkish international player will be unable to feature for Barca until January, as Barca are unable to register players until January because of breaching Fifa rules of transfer of players under aged 18, and they were banned from signing of players since this year 2015.
Ardan Turan signed for Atletico since 2011 from Turkish side Galatasaray where He scored 22 goals and provided 32 assists in four seasons with Atletico after. This seems to be scanty of such an industrious player like him.
This signing may go a long way to suggest Ardan Turan been getting aged with the game, as prior to his moving on from Atletico has complained of been made to run too much on the field, as he will not feature for Barca until January. Maybe perhaps for him, it may give him time to rest a lot and recover his youthfulness.
